Plumbing Permit Required?

[Jenessa NeSmith]

Obviously this might be different depending on the state, however is it necessary to obtain a plumbing permit/inspection to replace a shower valve?  How about to replace a toilet? I don't want to pull any unnecessary permits. I have tried calling the permit and inspection office but can't get an answer or anyone to call me back, so wanted to see if anyone on here had any advice.

We are in Omaha, Nebraska if that helps.  Thank you!

Yes.  In Omaha, you are supposed to pull permits for both shower valve and toilet replacement.  That doesn't mean that everyone does in fact pull them, obviously.  But technically you are supposed to.
