Hendricks County, IN Building Safety: Plumbing Permits (2026)

The Uniform Schedule at § 37.25(D) lists a $60 review fee for plumbing covering all principal and accessory uses, printed in the same fee table line as the identical $60 electrical charge and the demolition and relocation fees that follow it. That fee sits inside the county's broader Building Regulations chapter: § 150.40(A) requires permit applications to include plans and specifications showing the layouts of the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, and § 150.40(B) makes obtaining the permit itself mandatory before beginning construction, alteration, repair, or placement of any building or structure, with the Building Commissioner issuing every permit.

The residential fee table also separately prices a $30 subsurface drain inspection under Principal Building Inspection Fees, a plumbing-adjacent step distinct from the flat plumbing review charge. Section 150.39 incorporates the building rules of the State Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission under 675 I.A.C. by reference as the county's building standard, without separately naming a state plumbing code edition. Once the permit issues, § 150.41 requires the Building Commissioner to review the application for compliance, and § 150.42 requires staged inspections of the plumbing work as construction proceeds, with reinspection ordered if the work is not ready when the inspector arrives. No certificate of occupancy can be issued under § 150.45 until the plumbing, along with the rest of the structure, complies with the subchapter.
