Frequently asked questions

Do I really need a permit for a tub-to-shower conversion in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, or Cary?+

If any plumbing is moved (even slightly), yes. Like-for-like cosmetic swaps sometimes don't, but it varies by City of Raleigh, City of Durham, Town of Chapel Hill, Town of Cary, Apex, and county jurisdiction. Ask the contractor to confirm and pull it themselves.
