How to Apply for a Permit in Cedar Hill

Apply for building, trade, roofing, fence, pool and other construction permits online through the City of Cedar Hill EnerGov Customer Self Service portal: register for an account (contractors must apply online through the portal), choose the permit type, complete the building permit application with the value of work and the square footage (living area, garage, porch, total), and upload plans. New homes need a full plan set (floor, elevation, foundation, framing, plot plan, energy review, soils report and engineered foundation, engineered drainage plan); commercial projects need site, utility, architectural, structural and trade plans plus ComCheck, and pay the plan review fee (65% of the commercial permit fee) when applying. New commercial structures need site plan approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council first. Pay fees and schedule inspections in the portal; request inspections by 4:00 pm the day before (portal, cityinspections@cedarhilltx.com, or 972-291-5100 ext. 1093). General contractors register with the city every year ($100 a year); state-licensed electrical, plumbing, mechanical and irrigation contractors also register every year, at no fee.
