Given the ongoing spread of Covid, the city’s Development Services Department is going back online, returning to remote operations until Feb. 1. An email from the department explains that existing in-person appointments will be converted to virtual “where possible” and all new appointments will be conducted virtually through the end of this month. Meetings with Austin Public Health will still be available in person as will inspections, though customers can opt to conduct those virtually as well. Payments will be collected via phone by contacting 512-974-7045.
