Restoration in Amarillo
Amarillo Building Safety's fee schedule pairs every residential wrecking or demolition permit, at $118.00, with a Lot Clearance Bond of $463.00. Window, siding and insulation permits are $72.00 each, a re-inspection is $72.00, and a $13.00 technology fee applies to all permits. Start work before the permit and there's a $289.00 late fee, unless you're the owner-occupant of a single-family home and apply by the end of the next work day after notice.
The schedule carries no date and no general repair or remodel row; the roofing page says to call 806-378-3041 for current permit pricing. Amarillo's Permit Exempt Work page requires a permit of any owner or agent who plans to build, alter, repair, move or tear down a structure. Building Safety is in the Simms Municipal Building, 808 S Buchanan St, Suite 104, open weekdays from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm, and it issues permits electronically through MGO Connect.
Its code list, adopted in October 2023 and effective in January 2024, includes the 2021 International Residential Code (Ordinance 8086) and keeps the 2015 Energy Conservation Code. By the Census, Amarillo homes went up in 1973 at the median. Pre-1978 housing brings in EPA's lead-paint renovation rule for paid work that disturbs paint, and TDLR warns mold remediation contractors that they may need EPA renovator certification on such a job. Ask any contractor tearing out damaged walls in an older house for its EPA renovation firm certification.
