Lewisville, TX Fence Regulations: Fence Permit Requirements (2026)

00, plus any other information the building official requires, on the city's registration application form. Registration lasts one year from the date of issue and must be renewed annually by paying the fee set under City Code § 2-201, which cannot be prorated; plumbing and electrical contractors are exempt from the fee, but fence and general contractors are not. If a change occurs in the information on file, the registrant must notify the building official in writing within 30 days under § 4-554. Registration cannot be transferred, assigned, or used by any person, firm, or entity other than the one it was issued to.

The building official may suspend or revoke a fence contractor's registration for failing to obtain a required final inspection before a permit expires, allowing occupancy or use without required city authorization, gross negligence in the work, losing a required state license, providing false information, failing to update information within 30 days, transferring the registration, failing to maintain the required bond or insurance, two related code violations within 12 months, or a conviction directly related to the building trades. A suspended or revoked registrant may appeal in writing to the city's contractor registration board within ten business days; the building official's action stands until the board rules, and the board's decision is final. Reinstatement after suspension requires correcting the underlying problem, reapplying, paying the fee again, and meeting any conditions the board sets.
