Frisco elevators are regulated by Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under TX Health & Safety Code Chapter 754. Annual inspections by licensed inspector, 5-year load test, and operating certificate required. Single-family residential elevators (private) are exempt from TDLR but must meet ASME A17.1.
Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 754 and 16 TAC Chapter 74 require every elevator in a building other than a single-family dwelling to hold a current Certificate of Compliance issued by TDLR. Annual safety inspections are required, with load/full-pressure tests every 5 years. Inspection reports must be posted in the machine room. Private residence elevators are exempt from TDLR registration but must comply with ASME A17.1 Part 5.3 for new installations and the federal 2016 CPSC rule requiring 4-inch max space between hoistway door and car door. Frisco Development Services enforces building code for installation permits; TDLR handles ongoing operation.
Operating without current certificate: TDLR administrative penalty up to $5,000 per day plus shutdown order.
