Plumbing in Mission
In Mission, the general contractor has to obtain the residential building permit before the city issues permits for the sub-trades, meaning electrical, plumbing and mechanical, according to the residential packet. The city can't issue permits for property that isn't zoned and platted for the use. Allow 3 to 5 business days, the packet says, and direct questions to (956) 580-8691 or (956) 580-8687. The residential permit application requires compliance with all 2024 IBC, IRC, IFC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, ISPSC, IPMC and 2023 NEC requirements, and every application needs a 2024 REScheck report, a Manual J (A/C) report and an engineered sealed windstorm plan.
The Inspections Division, part of the Planning Department, works from Mission City Hall, 1201 E 8th Street, Mission, TX 78572, with a city main line of 956-580-8650.

A 2000 median year built for Mission comes from the American Community Survey (2020 to 2024). Before you hire a plumber, confirm that the general contractor's building permit has been issued, because the plumbing permit waits on it.
