Poly B replacement permits in Airdrie
What Airdrie actually publishes about permitting a residential repipe, verified August 6, 2026.
Is a permit required?
Yes. Plumbing work done separately from original construction needs a trade permit, with plumbing explicitly listed among the examples. Airdrie's pages don't spell out repipe wording specifically, so confirm scope with the city when applying.
Who can pull the permit
Homeowner-led trade permits explicitly exist. As of January 2026, a $100 fee applies to each homeowner-led trade permit; hired contractors are exempt from that surcharge.
Inspections
All permitted work must be inspected. Book through a myAIRDRIE account or by phone; requests until 6 p.m. get next-business-day service. The stage breakdown isn't published, so confirm when booking.
Fees
The $100 homeowner-led surcharge is confirmed; the base plumbing permit fee lives in the city's User Fees Bylaw. Confirm the total with the city.
Timelines
No published processing timeline; confirm with the city.
Who administers it
City of Airdrie Building Inspections.

How this fits the bigger job
The permit and inspection record is part of the documentation package your insurer will want after a repipe, alongside the completion certificate. The insurance chapter covers that package, and the cost guide covers what the whole job runs. The Airdrie city profile shows how much of the local housing stock sits in the Poly B era.
