engineer or architect licensed by the state to practice as such even if not
required by state law.

construction inspection requirements and other data if it is found that the
nature of the work applied for is such that reviewing of plans is not necessary
to obtain compliance with this code.
(c) Information on plans and specifications. Plans and specifications shall be
drawn to scale upon substantial paper or cloth and shall be of sufficient
clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work proposed and
show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this code and all
relevant laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
(d) Architect or engineer of record. When it is required that documents be
prepared by an architect or engineer, the code official may require the owner
to engage and designate on the permit application an architect or engineer

been approved by the code official.
(f) Expiration of plan review. Applications for which no permit is issued within
180 days following the date of application shall expire by limitation, and plans
and other data submitted for review may thereafter be returned to the
applicant or destroyed by the code official.
The code official may extend the time for action by the applicant for a period
not exceeding 180 days on request by the applicant showing that
circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action
from being taken. No application shall be extended more than once. In order
to renew action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall
resubmit plans and pay a new plan review fee.
Sec. 13. THAT Chapter 18, Article II - Building Code, of the Code of Ordinances of the
City of Colleyville, Texas, is hereby amended to insert a new Section 18-22.
Permit issuance to read as follows:
Section 18-22. Permit issuance.
(a) Issuance. The application, plans, specifications, computations and other data
filed by an applicant for a permit shall be reviewed by the code official. Such
plans may be reviewed by other departments of this jurisdiction to verify
compliance with any applicable laws under its jurisdiction. If the code official
finds that the work described in an application for a permit and the plans,
specifications and other data filed therewith conform to the requirements of
this code and other pertinent laws and ordinances, and the fees specified in
this article and all fees for water tap and sewer service have been paid, the
code official shall issue a permit to the applicant.
When the code official issues the permit where plans are required, the code
official shall endorse in writing or stamp the plans and specifications
APPROVED. Such approved plans and specifications shall not be changed,
modified or altered without authorization from the code official, and all work
regulated by this code shall be done in accordance with the approved plans.
The code official may issue a permit for the construction of part of a
plumbing system before the entire plans and specifications for the whole
building or structure have been submitted or approved, provided adequate
information and detailed statements have been filed complying with all
Ordinance 0-01-1317
Page 45 of 57
pertinent requirements of this code. The holder of a partial permit shall
proceed without assurance that the permit for the entire building or structure
will be granted.
(b) Witbholding of permits. The code official is authorized to withhold permits to
any person for the reasons set forth herein upon written notice to such
person. The determination of the code official may be appealed to the Board
as provided in this code.
The code official is authorized to withhold the issuance of plumbing permits
to:
i. any person until such time as the plumbing for which a permit was
previously issued has been completed or is being performed in an
efficient manner in a reasonable length of time.
II. any person who is delinquent in the payment of fees owed the City of
Colleyville.
III. any person who has performed previous jobs which remain in violation of
this code.
(c) Validity. The issuance of a permit or approval of construction documents
shall not be construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of
any of the provisions of this code or of other ordinance of the City of
Colleyville, Texas. No permit presuming to give authority to violate or cancel
the provisions of this code shall be valid.
The issuance of a permit based upon construction documents and other data
shall not prevent the code official from thereafter requiring the correction of
errors in said construction documents and other data or from preventing
building operations being carried on thereunder when in violation of this code
or of other ordinances of the City of Colleyville.
(d) Expiration. Every permit issued by the code official under the provisions of
this code shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the work
authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date
of such permit, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or
abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180
days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first
obtained and the fee shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit
for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the
original construction documents for such work, and provided further that such
suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. In order to renew
action on a permit after expiration, the permittee shall pay a new full permit
fee.
(e) Extensions. Any permittee holding an unexpired permit shall have the right to
Ordinance 0-01-1317
Page 46 of 57
apply for an extension of the time within which the permittee will commence
work under that permit when work is unable to be commenced within the
time required by this section for good and satisfactory reasons. The code
official shall extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not
exceeding 180 days if there is reasonable cause. No permit shall be
extended more than once.
(f) Suspension or revocation of permit. The code official may, in writing,
suspend or revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this code
whenever the permit is issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information
supplied, or in violation of any ordinance or regulation or any of the
provisions of this code.
(g) Administrative hold. Any administrative discrepancy including but not limited
to, delinquency in payments, returned checks, failure to pay for re-inspection,
investigation or registration fees, and failure to keep registration, insurance
or bond up-to-date, may result in a hold being placed on issuance of permits
and performance of inspections of existing permits until the administrative
discrepancy is corrected. For the purpose of this section, the term "up-to-
date" shall mean that whenever any of these items is required by this or any
other code to obtain a permit covered by this code, it shall be maintained
current and in effect until the permit is finaled.
(h) Retention of plans. One set of approved plans, specifications and
computations shall be retained by the code official until final approval of the
work covered therein. One set of approved construction documents shall be
returned to the applicant, and said set shall be kept on the site of the building
or work at all times during which the work authorized thereby is in progress.
(i) Job abandonment. If after a permit is issued under the provisions hereof, the
applicant abandons the job, becomes incapacitated or his/her services are
terminated prior to final inspection and approval thereof by the code official
and before the permit has expired, the applicant or his lawful legal
representative shall immediately notify the office of the code official in writing.
Upon such notification, the code official shall immediately have an inspection
made of the work completed to that time, and may revoke the outstanding
permit and require that a new permit with the payment of fees be obtained
before the work is allowed to resume.
Sec. 14. THAT Chapter 18, Article II - Building Code of the Code of Ordinances of the

reviewing a construction plan that has been previously reviewed and re-
submitted with corrections. Where construction plans are changed to a new

fee is required. Said plan review fee shall be in accordance in accordance
with Section 2-26. Fees and charges for city services.
(e) Inspection charges. Permit fees shall include the cost of all required
inspections.

such contractor to obtain other permits until such charges are paid.

Sec. 15. THAT Chapter 18, Article II - Building Code of the Code of Ordinances of the
City of Colleyville, Texas, is hereby amended to insert a new Section 18-24 to
read as follows:
Section 18-24. Investigation fees for work without a permit.

has been commenced without first obtaining the required permit, an
investigation fee equal to the amount of the permit shall be charged, which
shall be separate from any permit fee required by this code.
Exceptions:
1. This provision shall not apply to emergency work when it has been proven
to the satisfaction of the code official that such work was urgently
necessary and that it was not practical to obtain a permit before the
commencement of the work. In all cases, a permit must be obtained as
soon as it is practical to do so, and if there be an unreasonable delay in
obtaining such permit, an investigation fee as herein provided shall be
charged.
2. The investigation fee required shall be charged for work for which an
inspection has been requested and no permit has been obtained.
(b) Permit cancellation. A building permit may be cancelled by the applicant at
any time within six months of the date of its issuance. If no work has been

Ordinance 0-01-1317
Page 49 of 57
DIVISION 7. INSPECTIONS AND CODE OFFICIAL
Section 25. Inspections.
(a) Inspection required. All building construction for which a permit is required
by this code shall be inspected by the code official. No portion of any
construction work requiring prior inspection approval shall be concealed until
inspected and approved. Neither the code official nor the City of Colleyville
shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of material
required to permit inspection. The holder of the permit shall be responsible
for the scheduling of such inspections.
(b) The code official shall issue written procedures that describe the various
phases of inspection and make these procedures available to the public
upon request.
(c) Other inspections. In addition to any scheduled inspection, the code official
may make or require other inspections of any construction work to ascertain
compliance with the provisions of this code.
(d) No implied authorization to proceed. Approval as a result of an inspection
shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of
this code or of other ordinances of the City of Colleyville. Inspections
presuming to give authority to violate or cancel provisions of this code or of
other ordinances of the jurisdiction shall not be valid.
( e) Re-inspection and testing. Where any work does not pass any initial
inspection, the necessary corrections shall be made to comply with this code.
The work shall then be resubmitted to the code official for inspection.
(f) Inspection requests. It shall be the duty of the person doing the work
authorized by a permit to notify the code official that such work is ready for
inspection. The code official may require that every request for inspection be
filed at least one working day before such inspection is desired. Such
request may be in writing or by telephone, at the option of the code official.
The person requesting an inspection required by this code shall provide
access to and means for proper inspection of such work. When the work is
within a residence where access is dependent upon the occupant being
home, the person doing the work shall make arrangements for inspections.
Failure to make arrangements within a timely manner or the inability for the
inspector to do the inspections at the arranged times will result in re-
inspection fees being assessed to the person doing the work.
Exception: If the re-inspection fee is for a "Final Inspection" for a residence
where access is dependent upon the occupant, after the fee has been paid
Ordinance 0-01-1317
Page 50 of 57
by the person doing the work additional arrangements for the final inspection
and penalties for not receiving such inspection shall fall on the occupant.
This shall not relieve the person doing the work from having to correct
improper work and such accompanying penalties should the work fail re-
inspection.
(g) Re-inspections. A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or
re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not
complete or when corrections called for are not made.
This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first
time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this code,
but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready
for such inspection or re-inspection.
Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the building site is not in
compliance with codes and ordinances applicable to construction sites,
approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to
provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating
from plans requiring the approval of the code official.
To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall file an application in writing on a
form furnished for that purpose and pay the re-inspection fee in accordance
with the applicable fee schedule.
In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional
inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been
paid.
(h) Right of entry for inspections. The application for permit shall be deemed to
be granting authority to enter the property for the purpose of inspections. No
owner or occupant or any other person having charge, care, or control of any
building or premises shall fail or neglect, after proper demand is made as
provided in this article, to promptly permit entry therein by the code official or
his authorized representative for the purpose of inspection and examination
pursuant to this article. Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.
Sec. 17. THAT Chapter 18, Article 11- Building Code of the Code of Ordinances of the

engineering practice involving public safety.

and structures and inspect the premises for which such permits have been

department of building inspection shall not be engaged in or connected with

with the interests of the department.
(k) Liability. The code official charged with the enforcement of this code, acting
in good faith and without malice in the discharge of the duties required by
this code or other pertinent law or ordinance shall not thereby be rendered
personally liable for damages that may accrue to persons or property as a
result of an act or by reason of an act or omission in the discharge of such
duties. A suit brought against the code official or employee because of such
act or omission performed by the code official or employee in the
enforcement of any provision of such codes or other pertinent laws or
ordinances implemented through the enforcement of this code or enforced
by the code enforcement agency shall be defended by this jurisdiction until
final termination of such proceedings and any judgment resulting therefrom
shall be assumed by this jurisdiction.
The liability exemption and defense protection provided in this section are
not extended to Third Party Companies, nor their employees.
This code shall not be construed to relieve from or lessen the responsibility
of any person owning, operating or controlling any building or structure for
any damages to persons or property caused by defects, nor shall the code
enforcement agency or its parent jurisdiction be held as assuming any such
liability by reason of the inspections authorized by this code or any permits or
certificates issued under this code.
