Tips
- Interior water re-pipe has its own flat $150 fee, but ONLY when the work is like-for-like pipe sizing — anything else reverts to valuation-based (BOV) billing.
- Existing irrigation line repair/replacement is permit-exempt, but new installations, upgrades, and any reconnection to potable (drinking) water require a permit and, for potable reconnection specifically, a backflow preventer one-line diagram plus a safety inspection.
- Plumbing scope is not one of the itemized Licensing Time Frames rows, so it falls under the Town's general 'Building permit (not listed elsewhere)' maximum time frame of 60/120/180 calendar days, though simple miscellaneous permits with the flat $50 review fee typically process much faster in practice.
