My friend and I both bought water heaters yesterday. Mine was gas, and needed a permit and after it was installed today, I have to have it inspected by the city of Aurora, Colorado (Arapahoe County). His is electric, and he thinks the installer wont need a permit for it and he wont have to have it inspected. Will the installer need a permit for him and will he have to have it inspected?|||If you just like throwing money away you can, or if you don't trust your installer you may want to. I have been installing water heaters for 20 years and never once have pulled a permit. They sell water heaters at every hardware store, Lowe's and Home Depot. It is a very simple task and any city will tell you a permit is required because they want the revenue. If you have money you just want to throw away like that please contact me because I could use it worse than the city.|||Previous answer was incorrect. You did need a permit and so does he. I assume you bought the water heater from a company like sears, lowes, home depot, etc, and they have a company come out and install it. If so, then yes, a permit is required for both, and both have to be inspected.|||in texas where i live, most communities make you pull a permit to replace a water heater. HOWEVER, most folks don't. down here, most licensed plumbers don't even pull permits and certainly us homeowners don't. best advice is get rid of the old water heater asap, ie, don't set it at the curb where inspectors may see it. (that's on the cool. i didnt say that.)|||No. You didn't need one either.

A permit to change out a water heater...I'm still laughing.
