Van Alstyne has put updated construction-code editions into effect and changed Development Services office hours, with both changes dated Oct. 1 on the city’s website.

Development Services is now open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday hours are 8 a.m. to noon. The department handles planning, building and permitting, code compliance and engineering.

The city’s permit page lists 2021 editions for its building, residential, fire, plumbing, mechanical and other construction codes, together with regional amendments. The National Electrical Code is listed separately as the 2020 edition.

The permit page also says contractors working within the city’s jurisdiction must be registered with the city. Applicants can consult the full code list and permit instructions online, or contact City Hall at 903-482-5426 about their project or permit status.
