DALLAS
BUILDING PERMIT
STATUS GUIDE.

Dallas Planning and Development doesn't send permit status alerts, so Dallas permits have to be checked by hand. Automated tracking isn't available in Dallas yet — Dallas publishes permit records but no status field we can poll. Get notified when it launches.

DALLAS PERMIT PORTAL INFO

Dallas uses the DallasNow portal, run by the Planning and Development Department at dallascityhall.com. It handles building, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits for the city of Dallas only — Plano, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Richardson, and Carrollton each run separate permit systems, so confirm which city your job site falls in before applying.

Typical Dallas Permit Timelines

TIPS FOR DALLAS CONTRACTORS

Plan your inspections early
Dallas inspection queues can back up 1–2 weeks. Schedule as soon as you know the inspection is coming, not the day before.
Check the trade permit status separately
Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are tracked separately from the main building permit. Make sure all trade permits are also cleared before starting work.
Get your COA early
If your project requires a Certificate of Occupancy, apply as soon as the final inspection is passed — Dallas COA processing adds additional time.
Use Dallas 311 for escalation
If your permit has been sitting 'under review' for longer than expected, call Dallas 311 and ask to speak with the Planning and Development permit technician.
