The Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL, Department of Commerce) licenses plumbers statewide as Apprentice, Journeyman, Residential Journeyman, Master and Residential Master Plumber. Businesses doing plumbing work also need a DOPL contractor license.
Water heater replacements generally need a permit from the local city or county building department.
