I am not sure if it is a County Code issue or State. But, as people mentioned above, you don’t really need to hire a licensed plumber to finish installing a dishwasher/fridge if you or someone you know is handy (or you hire an independent ‘handyman’ that is willing to do it).
read the state law ruling above in pdf form and you have your answer!
