Permits for plumbing work in a new structure will only be issued to contractors licensed by the state of Minnesota.

Permits for plumbing work in an existing structure will only be issued to contractors licensed by the state of Minnesota or to a homeowner for work done on the property they have homesteaded.

In signing and submitting a permit application, a homeowner is acknowledging that they own and occupy the home where the work will be conducted, and they will personally and physically perform all of the plumbing work.

Generally, the state of Minnesota requires that all plumbing work be performed by licensed, bonded and insured plumbing contractors and their employees.

In specific cases, and within strict limitations, plumbing work may be performed by a homeowner on the property they have homesteaded.

An owner may not do plumbing work in a mobile home or a building that is rented, leased or occupied by others.

It is the responsibility of the plumbing permit applicant to schedule all required inspections with the building inspections division and provide accessibility to the structure being inspected.
