How to Apply for a Permit in Simonton

Simonton issues its own building permits at City Hall; the City's contractor, Bureau Veritas, performs plan review and inspections. Every structure in the city must be permitted and also needs a Flood Plain Building Permit reviewed by the City's flood plain administrator. Submit the residential, commercial or accessory structure permit application with the documents on the City's plan review checklist, plus a contractor registration form for each electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractor (copies of the driver's license and state license, and a general liability certificate of at least $1,000,000 naming the City); the City's building page says a $150 contractor registration fee applies. Building permit fees are due when you submit the application. Stand-alone residential electrical, plumbing and mechanical work needs no plan review; that permit fee is due when the permit is issued. Fees can be paid by check or credit card, including online through the City's payment page. Once the plan review and flood plain review are approved, the permit is emailed to you and must be posted where it can be seen from the street. Request inspections from Bureau Veritas at (877) 837-8775 or inspectionstx@us.bureauveritas.com; requests received by 5 PM Monday through Friday are inspected the next business day. New homes and new commercial buildings need a Certificate of Occupancy application after the final inspection.
