Builders Should Remain Aware of Municipal Development Department Operation Guidelines
Dallas BA encourages members to routinely visit development department websites for any updates regarding department operations during the COVID-19 crisis. While industries are seeing further openings around the state, municipal departments still work under the responsibility to keep their employees and the visiting public safe.
As cities unwind from the COVID-19 shelter-in-place strategies, it is possible some building inspection departments may have to phase in what operations are open for public visitors. For example, the City of Celina’s building inspections department has announced they are open for the purpose of dropping off permit applications and checks. However, meetings must still be handled virtually or by telephone.
Please observe social distancing measures when visiting your local municipal offices.
