Euless requires scaffolding on commercial jobs and multi-story work to be erected per the adopted International Building Code and OSHA standards, with permits for sidewalk encroachment.
Euless, TX enforces scaffold safety through the adopted International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) as amended by Chapter 18 of the Euless Code of Ordinances. Scaffolding used on construction projects must meet OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L requirements for design, capacity, bracing, guardrails, and access. Residential scaffolds on low single-family work do not require a separate scaffold permit but remain part of the underlying building permit. Commercial and multi-story scaffolds that extend into the right-of-way, block a sidewalk, or require lane closure on an Euless street must obtain a right-of-way use permit from Public Works and provide pedestrian protection such as covered walkways. Scaffolds left standing more than 30 days without active work may be cited as abandoned equipment. Building Inspections (817-685-1400) reviews scaffold plans on commercial permits over three stories or 30 feet. Swing stages and suspended platforms used for facade work on the larger commercial corridors near SH-183 require a separate inspection before use.
