DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HOME

Because the Texas Residential Construction Commission is no longer in operation, contractors who have been registered with the agency and who apply for building permits in Horseshoe Bay will be required to be registered by the City beginning on November 2, 2009. All general contractors applying for building permits for residential or commercial buildings, including remodels, will be required to be registered before they will be issued a building permit. There is a $100 application fee, and an approved Registration is valid for two years. In signing the Application, the contractor is authorizing the City to do a verification of credentials, a criminal background check and a personal background check. The Development Services Manager will review all of the credentialing information and will make a decision regarding registration of a contractor on the basis that there is a clean verification of the applicant’s credentials, that the applicant has never been subject to a court judgment regarding quality of work, and has a clean criminal background and personal background check. Any applicant whose information cannot be verified, who has one or more court judgments against them, or whose information is found to be incorrect, and any registration application that has a conviction for any misdemeanor or higher crime associated with any fraudulent act, theft, or act of a violent nature shall be denied.

New Flood Plain Permit Application

The City has developed a Flood Plain Permit Application that will be required for any Building Permit in a Special Flood Hazard Area on the existing FIRM maps. Development Services staff will review and process this application along with the Building Permit Application. As a result of the review and before the flood Plain Permit and the Building Permit can be issued, you may be required to obtain an Elevation Certificate, provide additional information, or obtain additional permits from other agencies. For more information, Contact Mike Light at 830-598-8741 x 273.
