Full Breakdown

Broken Arrow requires a plumbing permit from the plumbing inspector or building official before any plumbing is installed or extended on a property, under section 6-99 of the Broken Arrow Code. That permit requirement flows from the plumbing code the city adopted in section 6-94: the 2018 International Plumbing Code, as amended by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission and further amended locally, covering everything from sewer depth to backflow prevention. Doing plumbing work without the permit is a criminal offense, not just a paperwork lapse.

Violations & Fines

Installing or extending plumbing without first securing a permit is expressly made a Class B offense under section 6-99, punishable separately from other building code violations.
