By maintaining an active state license, contractors are authorized to perform work throughout the state, provided they follow local ordinances.
Within the City of Appleton, the Inspection Services Division manages the permitting and inspection workflow. Contractors are responsible for obtaining the necessary permits before starting any plumbing project and ensuring that all work meets the standards set forth in the Wisconsin Uniform Plumbing Code.
