City Code requires certain items to submit an application to the Code Enforcement department and obtain the required permit. Permits must be obtained by the contractor or licensed trades. If the resident is personally performing the work, permits are issued to the resident. Please note that if a permit is not obtained prior to the item being initiated, the fee will be doubled.
Building Permits
Permit applications can be picked up at City Hall. Permits are required for many residential projects. Permits are not required for routine maintenance including interior and exterior painting, replacement of soffits, facia and trim, and minor roof and fence repairs.
You may also email Eddie Pitts, at eddiepitts@postgarza.net to obtain more information on the requirements of building permits.
