Plumbing Permitting Fees

 The City of Kaufman will be waiving Plumbing permitting fees provided that the plumbing contractor performing the work is registered with the City and provides required documentation (copy of the property owner’s insurance claim) to the City such that the City may verify that the work has been performed in accordance with state code and City Ordinance standards.

Plumbing Inspections

 In order to reduce the inconvenience experienced when residents must remain home to wait for inspections of work performed by contractors, inspections will be performed virtually via the process adopted by the Building Official and in accordance with ICC procedures.
