Poly B replacement permits in Langley (Township)

What Langley (Township) actually publishes about permitting a residential repipe, verified August 6, 2026.

Is a permit required?

Yes, and the Township's guide addresses repiping directly: a permit is required to replace waterlines, floor plans may be required to repipe a dwelling, and apartment repipes need engineer-sealed plans. Leak repairs and like-for-like fixture swaps are exempt.

Who can pull the permit

The application asks for a plumber's Trade Qualification and business licence number, so a qualified plumber is the expected applicant. A homeowner exception isn't addressed in the guide; confirm with the Township.

Inspections

Required, requested by the owner, builder, or agent, and work can't proceed past a stage without clearance. Approved drawings must be on site.

Fees

Payable at issuance; amounts aren't in the guide, so confirm at application.

Timelines

No published processing timeline; confirm with the Township.

Who administers it

Township of Langley Permits, Licences and Inspections; digital applications via the Township's eApply system.
