Question : Live in Dallas Texas and trying to get a permit to have a detached carport built. Anyone know that all I need?
I’ve been to Building Inspection which is a Division of the
Development Services Department, with main offices at 320 E. Jefferson Blvd., Dallas, Texas 75203, telephone 214-948-
4480. COMPLETE JOKE. They can’t advise you on where you need to go or any detailed information that you may need to obtain. So that a person can proceed. I have the site map of my property. The Company literature that states the specs of the carport. Carport will be detached. Walls are 7 ft east and west. North and South walls are open. Pitch of the roof is 10 ft. I have the building draw to scale dimensions. ( I may be saying that incorrectly ) Has anyone in Dallas been approved for a permit and if so, what advice can you provide? Thanks in advance. SB.
