Advocacy

Dallas BA Rally Day 2021

A core mission of the Dallas Builders Association is advocacy. Representing the home building industry in city halls, county court houses and the state capitol, Dallas BA works to keep its members informed on regulatory issues as well as serving as a trusted information resource for public officials. Successes have included needed code changes, favorable local tax structure, more efficient permitting processes and protection from harmful ordinances and regulations.

The Government Relations Committee works as Dallas BA’s guiding component for government advocacy. Members of the GRC and Dallas BA staff often meet with area mayors and councils, chief building officials, North Texas state legislators and even congressional committee chairmen.
