Doing some home renovations? Before you get started, make sure you check with the City of Bryan’s Development Services Department to see if you need a permit to do the work.
Buildings permits ensure the work that is being done is done so in a safe manner and that the improvements are built to city-approved construction standards. No matter what the specific job may be, the enforcement of building codes protects public health and safety for construction projects and protects the investment you have in your home.
Obtaining a permit gives you legal permission to start construction and has these other positive benefits. It ensures that contractors do good work. Profit-driven contractors might be tempted to cut corners, but a building permit ensures that they use safe construction methods and materials. And, an inspection ensures you that the contractor did the work correctly. It also protects your home’s value. Permits are public record, and potential home buyers can see whether improvements to the home were completed with the proper permits.
If your project needs a permit, you should obtain that permit before starting any of the construction. For more information on beginning the permitting process, go to our permitting process page or call 979.209.5030.
