Restoration in Arlington
Since November 1, 2011, Arlington has required building permits for replacing roofing materials and for structural foundation repairs. Its Planning and Development Services fee schedule, effective September 1, 2025 under Resolution No. 25-213, charges $200.00 per building for a demolition permit, and the same $200.00 for an emergency inspection of an occupied structure. Arlington prices foundation repair on its Table 1 valuation scale, which starts at $65.36 for the first $2,000 of value.
Skip the permit and the penalty equals the permit fee. The city's roofing bulletin lists the 2021 I-Codes, the 2020 National Electrical Code and the Unified Development Code as adopted. Repairs, alterations and remodels go through Planning and Development Services at 817-459-6502, or in person at the One Start Center on the second floor of City Hall, 101 W. Abram Street. Applications can also be filed at ArlingtonPermits.com. Along Arlington's boundary FEMA maps zones A, AE and AO, counting polygons that reach the line rather than the land they cover.
According to the Census, Arlington homes date from 1986 at the median. Two of TDI's contracting-scam signs show up on paper: a request to sign something before you get an estimate, and a contract with blank sections. Get the value of any foundation work in writing, because the Table 1 scale prices that permit from it.
