PERMITS & LICENSING
Permits and licenses in Casa Grande.
Permits and who issues them
Casa Grande's administrative code (2019 edition) waives permits for swapping existing equipment for identical equipment when no structural, gas, plumbing or electrical hookups change and the item is on the Building Division's policy list. It says gas water heaters that need new or changed gas piping need a permit. Whether your swap qualifies depends on that policy list, which we couldn't find online.
