The short answer
When your project requires a permit, Head's Plumbing pulls the permit, performs the work to the Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code, and coordinates the inspection — so you get a correct, documented, inspected result without navigating your city or county's process yourself.
Educational, not legal advice
This guide is general plumbing education, not legal or code advice. Permit rules, fees, and inspection timelines are set by your local building department (your Authority Having Jurisdiction) and by the Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code, and they change. Always confirm current requirements with your local building department before starting work — or let our licensed team pull the permit and confirm the details for you.
What does Head's handle for you?
Permitting can feel intimidating — different forms, fees, and timelines in every jurisdiction. As a licensed company led by a Georgia State Master Plumber, we take that burden off your plate on permitted work.
On a permitted job, we typically:
- 1Confirm whether your specific work requires a permit
- 2Pull the permit with your local building department
- 3Perform the work to the Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code
- 4Coordinate and meet the inspector for the inspection
- 5Hand you a finished, documented, inspected result
Why does this protect you?
Permitted, inspected work safeguards your home's safety, your insurance coverage, and your resale value — and it means an independent inspector has verified the job. It is part of what separates a licensed company from a here-today operator.
Specifics confirmed per jurisdiction
Because fees and timelines differ by city and county, we confirm the exact requirements with your building department for your address — we never guess at the numbers.
Who is this for?
Every metro-Atlanta homeowner with a project that needs a permit — water heaters, sewer and water lines, gas lines, repiping, backflow assemblies, and more. We serve every customer in our community with the same standard.

Yes — on permitted work, we pull the permit, perform the work to code, and coordinate the inspection as part of the job. You get a documented, inspected result.
Yes. We coordinate with your building department's inspector and meet them for the inspection, so you do not have to manage that step yourself.
Terms in this guide
- Backflow preventer
- A valve assembly that stops dirty or contaminated water from reversing direction and flowing back into your clean drinking-water supply. Georgia requires many of these devices to be tested by a certified tester on a regular schedule.
- Repipe
- Replacing some or all of a home's supply (or drain) piping. Older Atlanta homes often have galvanized steel, polybutylene, or cast iron that corrodes or fails with age; a repipe swaps it for modern copper or PEX.
- Water service line
- The pipe that carries clean water from the city main (or your well) to your home. When it leaks or fails, it can cause low pressure, soggy spots in the yard, or a high water bill.
