Plumbing Apprentice Registration Changes

Applications to register and terminate apprentices are available for Plumbing Contractors to download from our website. The registration and termination cards have been discontinued. Go to the Plumbing Contractor page at http://www.dora.state.co.us/plumbing/pc/licensing.htm  for the Application for Apprentice Registration or Termination. We hope that you will find this is a more efficient way to manage apprentice registration and/or termination.

Inspection Schedule*  Now Available On Line

In an effort to increase the performance of your online permit account, we have added the following enhancement. Once your inspection has been scheduled by the inspector, you can access that information from your online account. Normally, your inspection should appear on the schedule within three days of receipt of your request OR on the regularly-scheduled inspection day for your area. For more specific inspection scheduling information click here.

*due to unforeseen delays, your inspector might not be able to complete his/her entire itinerary on any given day

Refund Process

There has been a significant increase in the number of requests for refunds of plumbing permits. The cost involved in processing the refunds is significant. A refund may be allowed for a six-month period of the permit issue date as long as no inspections have been performed.

Option: If the permit has not expired, you may transfer an existing permit from one job address to another job address provided that the fee is the same and no inspections have been performed. To transfer the existing permit to another address, please make the appropriate changes to the existing permit and mail or fax it to this office at the address below. The changes will be made and a corrected copy of the permit will be made available. To avoid confusion, please discard the original permit when the transferred permit is issued.
