Plumbing Inspections

Before applying for a plumbing permit please review the general inspection information. Inspections are to be scheduled by the plumber and performed by Tommy Patterson's Quality Inspections (TPQI): phone (512) 756-9033, fax (512) 756-2210. You will need to correspond directly with TPQI to schedule inspection requests or for questions reqarding code requirements. All copies of inspections will be forwarded to WCID 17 by the inspection company.

Residential Inspections

Due to a change in the state law requiring the District to pay all plumbing inspectors directly, the inspection fees must be paid in advance when the permit is issued. Additional inspection fees may be required for large projects. Any unused fees will be refunded when the permit is finalized. The permit fee includes the permit fee of $50.00 and five required inspections as well as three re-inspections for a total of $450.00.

Commercial Inspections

District personnel will perform inspections for infrastructure and water mains in the street or line extensions. For plumbing inside the building contact Tommy Patterson's Quality Inspections at (512) 756-9033. Fees vary with each project but are typically $55.00 for each commercial inspection for a total of $490.00.
