When is a Building Permit Needed in Irving?

Irving, Texas. October 16, 2019

The City of Irving Inspections Department reminds residents that permits are required to erect, alter, move, enlarge, replace, demolish or repair a structure or building.

Residents should verify that contractors have obtained proper permits for any work being done. Permits and inspections are required whether the work is done by a contractor or a homeowner. If permits are not obtained, the safety and economic value of the home, building or infrastructure could be affected. It also could delay selling a home or result in fines being assessed.

Once the permit is issued, the City of Irving Inspections Department will conduct inspections to ensure the work meets city codes and ordinances.
