Plans showing the existing, demolition, and proposed construction.
If the business involves food sales or food preparation, a separate submittal is required for Health. Submit 1 set of kitchen plans, a health plan review application, equipment specification sheets and the fee for the review. Contact Amie Burden at (972) 721-4912 with questions.
Additions, alterations, change in occupancy, or repairs that will affect the energy efficiency of the building or portion thereof will require a COMcheck (COMCheck is free software that can be downloaded at the Energy Codes Website) that shows compliance with the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
Note: If any square footage is being added to the property, it’s treated as a building addition, which changes the fees, the number of plan sets, etc. (see new building checklist)
