Do I Need a Permit for a Gas Line Installation?
Yes — the gas's (the 1-inch — the 100-foot; the CSST's) always needs the plumbing/mechanical permit (the pressure's — the tested; the 15 psi's), even where (the repair's — the exempt's — the never). The 1-inch (the 100-foot — the 250k BTU; the sized), the 15 psi (the test's — the 15-minute's; the air's), and the CSST (the bonded — the 6 AWG's; the lightning's). The permit's — the gas's safety.

The gas's requirements
The 1-inch (the 100-foot's — the 250k BTU's; the sized), the 15 psi (the test's — the 15-minute's; the air's), the CSST (the 6 AWG's — the bonded; the lightning's), the 18-inch (the burial's — the 12's — the 12-inch; the 24's — the traffic), the 3-foot (the meter's — the clearance's; the 10's — the ignition), and the 250k BTU (the total's — the 1-inch's; the 100-foot's).
Materials
The black (the steel's — the 40-year's; the threaded), the CSST (the 25-year's — the flexible; the bonded), the 1-inch (the 100-foot's — the 250k's; the sized), the 15 psi (the test's — the 15-minute's; the 0-drop's), and the 18-inch (the burial's — the 12's; the warning's — the tape).
Cost and inspection
The $200-$500 (the permit's — the plumbing's), the $1,500-$4,000+ (the 100-foot's — the 1-inch; the CSST's), the 15 psi (the 15-minute's — the 0-drop's; the inspected), and the 0-drop (the allowed's — the 15's; the 15-minute's). The 15 psi's — the 15-minute's 0-drop; the permit's — the gas's.
The bottom line
Gas lines always need plumbing/mechanical permits (sized per BTU load — 1-in for 250k BTU/100 ft, 15 psi 15-min 0-drop air test, CSST bonded with 6 AWG, 18-in burial) — budget $1,500-$4,000+ and $200-$500 for permits.
