Roadway Impact Fees
The City Council approved a Roadway Impact Fee ordinance that took effect on Jan. 1, 2020. The fee is being phased in over time according to when the project’s final plat is issued. Refer to the Roadway Impact Fee page for fee calculations and offsets.
Review Process
Review time varies depending on the complexity of the project and the completeness of the submittal. The average turnaround time from submittal to permit is currently 6-8 weeks for new commercial construction. We do not offer expedited review service. There is no separate review fee in addition to the permit fee.
After your application is received it will be distributed to all applicable review staff. The reviewers will email their comments directly to the primary contact identified on the application (usually the architect). Responses should be emailed back to the reviewer.
When all comments have been addressed the permit will be issued and staff will call the applicant to pick up the permit and redlines at the Inspections Services counter. Instructions for using the online eTRAKIT will be included with the permit.
A Pre-construction meeting is required at the time of permit pickup.
The Certificate of Occupancy will be issued after the project passes the final inspection, and permanent power will be released to TXU Electric Delivery and Atmos Energy.
Inspection Process
- Instructions for scheduling inspections using eTRAKIT will be included with the building permit. Inspections must be requested before 4 p.m. for next business day.
- Inspections are conducted Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
- Utility authorizations will be released as the final utility inspections are completed.
Certificate of Occupancy
The Certificate of Occupancy will be issued once the project passes a fire final, all MEP finals and a final building inspection.
Job Trailer
A permit is not required unless the job trailer will need electrical or plumbing. A master license holder can apply for the permit needed. Permit fee is based on valuation.
