Texas Plumbing Inspector License

The Plumbing Inspector License grants you authorization to:

• Inspect plumbing work performed within the jurisdiction of any political subdivision with which the inspector is affiliated
• Perform Customer Service Inspection Certifications for public drinking water systems

An affiliation is established if the inspector is employed by, or under contract with, a political subdivision to perform plumbing inspections. An affiliated Plumbing Inspector may not have a financial or advisory interest in any plumbing company.
