Building Permits:
Anyone desiring to build, remodel, or add to a structure, must fill out an application for a building permit. All applications for building permits must be accompanied with the plans of the proposed construction. The sealed plans must consist of the data for the site, roof, walls, floor, foundation, and elevations. Plans for commercial buildings valued at $50,000. or more are required to be submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for compliance of the Texas Accessibility Standards (1-512-539-5669).
