Mask use inside City facilities

The CDC and Dallas County Health & Human Services continue to stress the importance of wearing masks when social distancing is not possible. To maintain a safe work environment, the City will continue safety protocols that require the wearing of masks by both employees and members of the public during visits to City facilities. Signage at City facilities directing mask wearing remains in place.  

The Community Development Department is responsible for enforcing the currently adopted building codes and ordinances of the City of University Park.  The department reviews all commercial and residential building requests.   Most new construction, remodeling, and additions require building permits.  The following links will help you determine if your project requires a permit, the necessary plans to obtain a permit, the permitting and inspection process, and any other requirements for your project.  If you are still unable to find the information you need for your particular project, please contact the Community Development Department at 214-987-5411.
