Permits are required for nearly all improvements done to a residential or commercial property. Fences, driveways, roofing, swimming pools, as well as any electrical, mechanical, plumbing or general construction of a structure requires a building permit. A structure includes the main building as well as accessory buildings such as a storage unit, gazebo, etc.

The dismantling of a structure also requires a permit – a demolition permit. Nearly any commercial dismantling or remodeling will also require an Asbestos Survey (required by the State of Texas).

The Planning and Development Department's provides services including building permits, building construction inspections, code enforcement, and construction plan reviews for residential, commercial and miscellaneous construction. This allows better interaction among those persons responsible for ensuring the residents’ safety.
