- Do I need a permit to repair a gas line leak at my home?

Yes. The gas company requires the city to inspect the line prior to turning your service back on. We will require a basic sketch of the gas line location, depth, pipe size, and materials used. Please call the City Development Center for more information.
- How soon can I have an inspection and can I make an appointment to meet the inspector on-site?

Inspection requests received by 11:59 pm will be scheduled for the following business day. Please have all work completed prior to requesting your inspection.
