For any questions you may contact our office by email: inspections@mineralwellstx.gov 

We do not validate Building Permits; trades will need to apply for their own permit when working with a General Contractor. When applying please have a copy of the parent permit for information that will be needed. All projects need to have a Registered Contractor.

ASBESTOS SURVEY

Senate Bill 509 requires municipalities to verify that an asbestos survey has been conducted prior to issuing renovation or demolition permits for public or commercial buildings. A copy of the asbestos survey for the area(s) to be renovated/demolished needs to be included with this permit application. This survey will be done in accordance with the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules (TAHPR) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

Please visit the following link to find out if your project requires an Asbestos Survey: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/asbestos-program
