Water and sewer pipe‐layer training best practices
To perform water and sewer pipe‐laying work, Minnesota law requires individuals to obtain a plumbing bond or be an employee of a person in compliance with the bond and insurance requirements of Minn. Stat. §326B.46, subd. 2. Individuals performing building sewer or water service installation are not required to hold a plumbers license if they have completed pipe‐laying training. Best practices The following are best practices for water and sewer pipe‐laying training:
Pipe layer bond
Do you perform septic system work? Contractors who install subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS) are licensed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Contractors licensed by MPCA don't need to file a pipe-laying bond with us. They will file their bond with MPCA only. If you are licensed by MPCA, do not renew your bond with us. Submit your $25,000 SSTS bond to MPCA. What if I don't do septic system work?

Change of business structure
What is a business structure change? A business structure change occurs when one legal business structure replaces another legal business structure to contract for and perform licensed work. These changes require applying for a new license for the new business entity. A business structure changes when an individual/sole proprietor creates a limited liability company (LLC) or corporation to handle his/her licensed business/contractor activities.
Plumbing plan review license requirements
In Minnesota, everyone engaged in the business of interior plumbing installations must be licensed plumbers or registered apprentices.  No person, firm or corporation can plan or install, nor install plumbing in connection with the dealing in and selling of plumbing material and supplies unless  --  at all times -- a plumbing contractor, a licensed master plumber or restricted master plumber, who is responsible for proper installation, oversees the plumbing work.
