Summary

Wyoming, Michigan enforces plumbing work through the Michigan Plumbing Code, adopted by reference under Sec. 10-121, with city-set permit fees and a registered plumbing inspector administering compliance. There is no standalone Wyoming-drafted plumbing permit clause; the state code and the city's fee and offense provisions govern together.

The city hereby adopts by reference the current Michigan Plumbing Code promulgated by the State of Michigan under 1972 Public Act 230 and 1999 PA 245. One copy of the code has been and is on file with the city clerk. The code is however subject to the following subsections: (1)Whenever the words "name of jurisdiction" appear, the word "city" shall be considered inserted.(2)The schedule of permit fees indicated in Chapter 1, Administration of the Michigan Plumbing Code shall be the fees as established by resolution of the city council from time-to-time and on file with the city clerk.(3)Legal offenses and fines as allowed in Chapter 1, Administration shall be as otherwise provided in the city code.

Full Breakdown

Sec. 10-121 adopts "the current Michigan Plumbing Code promulgated by the State of Michigan under 1972 Public Act 230 and 1999 PA 245," with a copy on file at the city clerk's office, subject to three local subsections: the phrase "name of jurisdiction" is read as "city"; permit fees follow the schedule set by city council resolution rather than the fee table printed in the state code's Chapter 1, Administration; and legal offenses and fines are "as otherwise provided in the city code" rather than the state code's own penalty chapter.

Unlike Wyoming's electrical article, which restates its own stand-alone "permit required" sentence at Sec. 10-84, the plumbing article (Article V, Secs. 10-121 to 10-122) does not print a separate local permit clause; the permit obligation lives inside the adopted Michigan Plumbing Code itself, administered locally under the city's fee schedule. Sec. 2301 et seq. Fee amounts, permit application procedures, and inspection triggers therefore track the state Plumbing Code as adopted, while Wyoming supplies the enforcement personnel, the fee-setting mechanism, and the citation route back to its own general penalty chapter.

Violations & Fines

Sec. 10-121(3) routes plumbing offenses and fines to the city's general penalty provisions in Chapter 1: a civil infraction generally carrying $75 for a first offense, $500 for a second offense, and $2,500 for a third or later offense under Sec. 1-27(e), unless the adopted state Plumbing Code specifies a different penalty for a particular violation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wyoming, Michigan have its own plumbing code?
No. Sec. 10-121 adopts the current Michigan Plumbing Code by reference rather than writing a local plumbing code, though the city sets its own permit fee schedule by council resolution and keeps a copy of the adopted code on file with the city clerk.
Who inspects plumbing permits in Wyoming, Michigan?
Sec. 10-122 places administration of the plumbing article with a plumbing inspector who must be registered under Michigan's Building Officials and Inspectors Registration Act, MCL 338.2301 et seq., along with any assistants the city council authorizes.
What happens if I violate Wyoming's plumbing rules?
Sec. 10-121(3) states that legal offenses and fines are "as otherwise provided in the city code," which routes plumbing violations to the citywide civil-infraction schedule in Sec. 1-27(e): $75 for a first offense, rising to $2,500 for a third or later offense within a year.
