Plumbing Permit Requirements
A plumbing system may not be constructed, altered, extended, renewed or repaired unless a plumbing permit has been obtained for the work. To obtain a permit, you must be a licensed plumbing contractor registered with the City of Saskatoon. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the plumbing contractors comply with the Plumbing Regulations.
A Plumbing Permit is required whenever a plumbing system is being constructed, changed, renewed, repaired or when fixtures are being set for the first time on an originally permitted rough in.
When a Plumbing Permit is not required:
- to clear a blockage in a drainage system
- to repair a leak in a water distribution system
- to replace a fixture without any change to the drainage system
- to replace existing faucets, water heaters or valves
