How to Apply for a Permit in Southlake

Apply online through the City of Southlake EnerGov Self-Service portal; all permit submittals are made online. The general contractor must be registered with the City before applying ($100 contractor registration; state license holders register free), and subcontractors must have an online account and be registered with the City.

A plan review fee (40% of the permit fee) is due at submittal for new homes and commercial projects, and the remaining 60% is paid when the permit is issued.

Commercial permits are multi-trade: electrical, plumbing and mechanical work is listed on the general permit rather than applied for separately.

Construction sites with existing trees need a Tree Protection Permit before grading or construction starts.

Questions: submit a request through Southlake Serves or call Building Inspections at (817) 748-8236.
