DSD enables permitless emergency repairs
Tuesday, February 7, 2023 by Tai Moses
On the heels of a destructive ice storm, the Development Services Department wants to get the word out to Austinites that permits are not required to start work on emergency repairs to homes and businesses. Storm repairs “can begin immediately, and DSD will work with you to ensure repairs were completed safely.” Need an emergency inspection for electrical or plumbing repair? Call 512-974-2030 for electrical work or 512-974-1520 for plumbing work. Inspections are available 24/7.
