Access Egress Controls – Dallas, TX

Access Egress Controls, printed on the form as Electrically Locked Access/Egress Controls Application Checklist and Required Documents, is the City of Dallas checklist that lists the application and documents needed for electric or electronic locking devices.

The form carries the heading of the Planning & Development Department, 320 E Jefferson Blvd, Dallas TX 75203, (214) 948-4480. It has four numbered requirements: the completed Building Inspection Application in DallasNow, dimensioned floor plans, device specifications with four verifications, and a signage statement. By checking each requirement, you state that the information you supplied is correct and complete.

It is a checklist, not the permit application itself. The application is completed in DallasNow, and this checklist tells you which supporting documents must go with it. If required information is missing from the submitted documents, the City notifies you of the deficiency.

The form also prints two special provisions. Security systems operating under 30 volts do not require an electrical permit. A Certificate of Occupancy (CO) submittal is required before you submit for a Security Systems permit, under Section 306.1, Use or Occupancy, of Chapter 52, Administrative Procedures for the Construction Codes, of the Dallas City Code.

Applicants who plan to install electric or electronic locking devices and are applying through the City of Dallas use this checklist to assemble the documents that go with the Building Inspection Application in DallasNow. The checklist asks for floor plans showing where each locking device will go, the specifications of the devices, and a statement about signage at every installed location.

Points that limit or qualify its use:

• Security systems operating under 30 volts do not require an electrical permit, according to the form.
• If your project needs a Security Systems permit, a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) submittal must come first.
• Doors into exit enclosures are covered by a separate verification in item 3d, so applicants with such doors must address it.

The form does not describe who may sign or submit for someone else. For questions about whether your installation falls under this checklist, contact the department at (214) 948-4480.

Use this checklist when you submit your application for electric or electronic locking devices. If a Security Systems permit is involved, the form requires a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) submittal before you submit for that permit, under Section 306.1, Use or Occupancy, of Chapter 52 of the Dallas City Code. The checklist prints no separate due date or validity period. It warns that missing information can leave an application delayed, denied and eventually discarded, so have every item ready before you apply. Staff cannot accept incomplete applications or illegible plan review documents.

The checklist names one channel: the Building Inspection Application, completed in DallasNow (item 1). The documents it lists support that application.

• DallasNow: complete the Building Inspection Application, then provide the floor plans, device specifications and signage statement that items 2 through 4 require.
• Department contact: the form is headed Planning & Development Department, 320 E Jefferson Blvd, Dallas TX 75203, (214) 948-4480. Use that number for questions.

Before you submit, check each requirement on the checklist. Staff cannot accept incomplete applications or illegible plan review documents, and if required information is missing you will be notified of the deficiency. A failure to supply it may delay or deny the application and eventually lead to it being discarded. If you need a Security Systems permit, submit the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) first. The form prints no fee, mailing address or in-person instruction. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
