Permits, inspections and city registration in Schertz
In Schertz, building permits for all construction come from the city's Inspection Division, and its no-permit list doesn't settle floor coatings either way. So before we start, I check with that office about your job. If they say a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy, and the start date then waits on that permit.
A permit brings inspections, which the permit holder books through the city's online portal, so a permitted job runs on the city's calendar as well as ours. Before you hire anyone, ask if they've registered with the city, since every contractor working in Schertz has to, at no fee. Contractors other than general contractors also give the city their state license numbers, which it checks.
- Ask any contractor whether they're registered with the city before work starts.
- General contractors also file proof of insurance naming the city as holder.
- Inspections are booked by the permit holder, which is us when we apply.
