Texas has numerous local jurisdictions, and although the State sets certain design and construction guidelines, it also permits local municipalities and counties to adopt their own codes and make amendments unique to such jurisdiction.
Texas has numerous local jurisdictions, and although the State sets certain design and construction guidelines, it also permits local municipalities and counties to adopt their own codes and make amendments unique to such jurisdiction.
Dallas is permitted to adopt and amend their own construction codes. However, those codes can't directly conflict with statewide regulations or codes that have jurisdictional authority. Dallas adopts internationally recognized codes and makes local amendments to those codes to better fit the needs, concerns, and specifics of their community.
