About each permit
Plumbing Contractor Registration
Registered by the Department of Public Health, not by the professional regulation department — a common misattribution that sends applicants to the wrong agency. Any licensed plumber doing plumbing work for another person must register. The $150 is the smaller part of the cost: a $20,000 surety bond or letter of credit is required, and it cannot be a continuous bond — it must expire on 30 September like the registration itself — along with $100,000 general liability, $300,000 bodily injury, $50,000 property damage and $500,000 workers' compensation cover, though a contractor with no employees may elect out of the last. Registrations do not survive a change of ownership. The fee is read from the department's own application form, which is dated 2016, so confirm it before budgeting.
