Garland has no separate lead paint ordinance. Federal EPA RRP Rule and Texas DSHS rules govern renovation and abatement in pre-1978 housing.
The City of Garland does not have a lead-based paint ordinance. Lead paint work is regulated by the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule (40 CFR Part 745) for pre-1978 housing and by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Environmental Lead Program under 25 TAC Chapter 295. Contractors performing renovation in pre-1978 target housing must be EPA-certified, and lead abatement must be performed by DSHS-licensed professionals. Sellers and landlords must comply with federal lead disclosure requirements.
EPA RRP violations carry federal civil penalties up to $37,500 per violation per day. Texas DSHS may assess administrative penalties for unlicensed lead abatement. The City refers complaints to EPA Region 6 and DSHS.
