    Unlike other places, a permit is required from the Regional Building Department along with an inspection; as a Homeowner you can pull the permit yourself. They say it's all about safety, but to me it's just about the $$$ .

    You need to call for an inspection to finalize the Permit.

    I paid $800 to have a water heater installed. In all the "fees" they tacked on was $80 for the permit. They also tacked on $125 to bring it up to the latest code and they did not. I ain't doing shit.

    Til your house burns down caused by improper water heater install and the insurance company sees the permit was pulled but not inspected. Then they give you the big .

    op: if you go the store brand route only go with GE from Home Depot. The kenmore, sears, state, whirlpool is the biggest pile of shit water heater there is. 70% of the water heater trouble calls are to clean the screen and or replace the pilot assembly on those.

    plumbers grade: Rheem/ruud or Bradford white.

    Best of luck.

    I think what he is saying is he hired someone to replace the water heater and they should have called for the inspection.

    Check to see if a permit was ever pulled in El Paso County http://www.pprbd.org/PublicAccess/AddressSearch.aspx
