Plumbing permit path for water heater work

Houston Permitting Center's Water Heater permit page states that a plumbing permit is required for replacement and installation of water heaters. For single-family residences, the page says plan review is not needed, but the permit must be obtained by a master plumber registered with the City of Houston and inspection is required.
