The department may require the production of ______ and other evidence during an inspection.

• A. Plumbing permits
• B. Building permits
• C. Tax records
• D. Contractor licenses

Answer: (A)

In a plumbing inspection, the key thing is that the work has been properly authorized. The department may require the production of plumbing permits and other evidence to show that the installation was reviewed, approved, and meets code requirements. The plumbing permit demonstrates that the project was approved under the plumbing code, and inspectors can verify that the permit is active and matches the location and scope of the work. Additional documents—such as inspection records, material specifications, and related project details—help confirm ongoing compliance. While broader building permits or license checks can come up in related contexts, the plumbing permit specifically documents authorization for the plumbing work; tax records aren’t used to verify code compliance, and contractor licenses pertain to who is allowed to work rather than the specific permit for the job.
