What is Additional Information for House/Structure Moving Permit – Dallas, TX?
Additional Information for House/Structure Moving Permit is a City of Dallas Development Services Department form on which the person moving a house or structure supplies details about its new location: intended use, zoning, planned work and a certification of exterior compliance.
The form has four numbered items. Item 1 asks for the proposed use of the structure. Item 2 states the zoning for the property and confirms it is appropriate for the intended use. Item 3 asks for a description of the work to be done to repair or remodel. Item 4 is a certification that the exterior of the structure will comply with all applicable ordinances within 90 days of the date of arrival at the address given, followed by lines for the address, block number, lot number and a signature.
The Development Services Department prints its own address on the form, 320 E Jefferson Blvd, Dallas TX 75203, and its telephone number, (214) 948-4480. The revision date printed at the bottom is 5/15/2024. The form carries no form number.
It supplements a House/Structure Moving Permit and is not a permit by itself; the form does not describe the permit application or its other requirements.
Who needs to file Additional Information for House/Structure Moving Permit – Dallas, TX?
The form is meant for a person who is moving a house or other structure to a property in Dallas and needs to provide additional information for a House/Structure Moving Permit. The form itself is titled for that permit and asks the signer to certify what will happen at the receiving address.
Information the form calls for from that person:
- The proposed use of the structure at its new location.
- The zoning of the property, which the form says is appropriate for the intended use.
- A description of any repair or remodel work.
- The address, block number and lot number where the structure will arrive.
- A signature on the certification that the exterior will comply with all applicable ordinances within 90 days of arrival.
The form does not say who may sign on behalf of an owner, and it prints no exclusions. For questions about eligibility, representatives or the permit itself, contact the Development Services Department at (214) 948-4480.
When to file Additional Information for House/Structure Moving Permit – Dallas, TX
The form accompanies a House/Structure Moving Permit, so it is completed when that permit is being obtained; no separate due date is printed on it. The one time period it contains runs from the structure's arrival: the certification in item 4 states that the exterior will comply with all applicable ordinances within 90 days of the date of arrival at the address you write on the form. Because that certification depends on the arrival address, have the address, block number and lot number ready before you complete the form. For the timing of the permit itself, contact the Development Services Department at (214) 948-4480.

- Omitting the address, block number or lot number under item 4, which tie the certification to a specific location.
- Signing the certification without understanding the 90-day commitment: the exterior must comply with all applicable ordinances within 90 days of the date of arrival.
- Submitting the form unsigned; the certification needs a signature.
- Writing a vague answer in item 1 rather than stating the proposed use of the structure.
