Plumbers in Prosper

Ordinance 2025-47 requires all contractors to register with the town, except where state law prohibits it, at $100 plus $100 a year. Registered contractors are searchable in Prosper's Citizen Self-Service (CSS) portal, or call Building Inspections at 972-346-3502.

State law sets the floor for what needs a permit. Texas cities over 5,000 people must require plumbing permits, water heaters included, though fixing a leak or replacing a faucet, toilet, ballcock or garbage disposal is exempt. The Responsible Master Plumber pulls the permit and requests the inspection, and the town must first confirm with TSBPE that the RMP has insurance on file.

The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners issues four licenses: Tradesman Plumber-Limited, Journeyman, Master and Plumbing Inspector, each renewed every year. Search any plumber on TSBPE's Public License Search, or find licensed plumbers near Prosper on its Find-a-Plumber map.

Then read the paperwork. Every written plumbing proposal, invoice or contract in Texas must show the Responsible Master Plumber's name and license number and TSBPE's contact details. A bid that leaves those off is incomplete. On the day, the plumber must carry their license or registration, and the service truck must show the company name and the RMP's license number. Complaints go to TSBPE at (512) 936-5200 on its General Complaint Form.

The town runs its own water and sewer lines and buys treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District. If you suspect a problem on the town's lines rather than your own, call Public Works at 972-347-9969 before you book a plumber.

Prosper drops to once-a-week watering from November 1 to March 31, after twice a week from April 1 to October 31, and bans watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. year-round. That switch is a good prompt to have backflow devices and irrigation lines checked. Anyone testing or repairing a backflow assembly needs a TCEQ tester license, valid for three years. The town also offers a free sprinkler evaluation.

Texas health officials confirmed 246 deaths related to the February 2021 winter storm, so book freeze prep for exposed pipes in the fall. If a water heater needs a new circuit, see electricians in Prosper; compare plumbers in McKinney, and see the Prosper town page.
