CROWLEY AT A GLANCE

Replacing a water heater in Crowley.

Crowley requires a permit for most plumbing work beyond swapping fixtures. If the home is your homestead, you can do your own plumbing as long as you get a permit and pass inspection. Contractors must be registered in the city's MyGov system. Oncor serves the city, and Crowley buys all its water from Fort Worth, at 108–150 ppm hardness in 2025.

Who gets the permit
If you're working on your own homestead, you don't have to hire a contractor for plumbing, electrical or mechanical work, but you still need a permit and a passing inspection. Contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the city before a permit is issued.
