A had a great experience with these folks! I called and had to leave a message, and was honestly scared it would be headache. But lo and behold, they called me back the next day and the representative was super friendly and answered my questions about permits. I was very impressed! Thank you City of Denton Building Safety!

Super positive experience! Cannot say enough about the permit technicians at the front. These technicians--Carolyn, Corey, Candace, Candy and Andres truly make the difference in Denton. Tip of the hat to the City of Denton for hiring amiable, caring and experienced professionals to facilitate the permit process! And the City Fire Inspectors---Clint and Megan were also very prompt about answering questions and really worked to make the process seamless. #DentonProud

Corey Quirke with the building inspections department has been MORE than helpful to me. I work with multiple cities all day and it is refreshing to work with someone like Corey! Thank you for being so kind!

Questions & Answers

Who owns and is responsible for replacement of a fence? Post face toward our lot.

Typically neighbors will go together on the cost of constructing or reconstructing a fence in between lots. Additionally builders will typically build a fence right on the property line. There is no way to tell who owns a fence unless a survey clearly shows the fence to be completely on the property of the owner.

Most hoa's only allow 10x12 max floor (foot print) with 8' wall (this is not the height of the building, wall height). I believe this is also in the Denton building code. I have a 10x12 lofted shed

I live at 9912 Soriano st. Denton TX. Can I get a drawing of the irrigation (sprinkler system ) on my lot? If so I can I get a copy? Thank you, Ralph Jankowski

Mr. Jankowski when the permit was pulled for your irrigation system in 2004 plans, were not required. I show the contractor to be Choate Irrigation if you would like to reach out to them.

Call a licensed electrician to help you through the process. This is the safest method.
