City Services

The City’s Bicycle Program works to make Austin an even greater city for biking. Our work is guided by the 2014 Austin Bicycle Plan. Austin is following this plan for becoming a city with a complete bike network—and a community where people of all ages and abilities experience biking as safe, comfortable, convenient, and fun.

Building Plan Review is responsible for reviewing and approving residential and commercial building plans for compliance with applicable codes and regulations. Once a building plan is approved, a building permit is issued by the Service Center, along with applicable trade permits (electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and irrigation). Depending on the type of work that is permitted, building inspections may be required during construction. Once the permitted work is completed, a final inspection is required.
