Flammable Liquid Permit Application Checklist – Dallas, TX

The Flammable Liquid Permit Application Checklist is a City of Dallas form that lists the application, drawings and equipment specifications required for a flammable liquid permit, so an applicant can confirm the package is complete before it goes to city staff.

The checklist is headed Planning & Development Department, 320 E Jefferson Blvd, Dallas TX 75203, (214) 948-4480. It has two parts. The first, Application Checklist and Required Documents, has four numbered items: a site plan review application, an excavation application checklist and supplement for underground work, a dimensioned site plan, and the specifications for the equipment installed. The site plan item has five sub-checks: legal description, property lines with a north arrow, buildings and canopies with setbacks, fuel dispensing islands, pumps and storage tanks with capacities, and the fuel lines from tanks to pumps.

The second part, Other Requirements or Special Provisions, explains what the permit covers: change, installation and removal of flammable and combustible liquid tanks and piping, LPG, CNG, LNG and hydrogen gas tanks, piping and generator, and underground fuel tanks with their associated piping and pumps. It also names three other permits that may be needed alongside it: building, demolition and plumbing.

The checklist is not the permit itself and not the site plan review application it refers to in item 1. The revision date printed at the bottom is 4/22/2025.

The checklist is for anyone applying to the City of Dallas for a flammable liquid permit, which the form says is required for change, installation and removal of the tanks and piping it lists.

• Applicants working on flammable and combustible liquid tanks and piping, LPG, CNG, LNG or hydrogen gas tanks, piping and generators, or underground fuel tanks with associated piping and pumps.
• Applicants doing underground installations or removals, who must also include the completed excavation application checklist and supplement (item 2).
• Applicants who will build structures together with the tank and piping installation, who also need a building permit.
• Applicants who will remove a building or structure together with the removal of tanks and piping, who also need a demolition permit.
• Applicants installing LPG piping, who also need a plumbing permit.

The form states that staff cannot accept incomplete applications or illegible plan review documents. It does not say who may sign or file on an applicant's behalf, and it contains no signature block.

Use the checklist when you are preparing an application for a flammable liquid permit, that is, before you change, install or remove the tanks, piping or associated equipment the form lists. The checklist sets no deadline or validity period of its own and prints no processing time.

The related permits follow the same triggers. A building permit is required if structures will be built with the tank and piping installation, a demolition permit if buildings or structures will be removed with the removal of tanks and piping, and a plumbing permit for LPG piping. Because staff cannot accept incomplete applications or illegible plan review documents, finish every applicable item before you bring the package to the city.

The checklist does not name a submission channel, portal, mailing address or appointment rule. It prints the contact details of the department at the top: Planning & Development Department, 320 E Jefferson Blvd, Dallas TX 75203, (214) 948-4480. Call that number to confirm how and where applications are received.

Prepare the package so it matches the checklist:

• the site plan review application (item 1);
• for underground installations or removals only, the completed excavation application checklist and supplement (item 2);
• the dimensioned site plan drawn to a standard scale (item 3);
• the specifications for the equipment installed (item 4).

The form states that staff cannot accept incomplete applications or illegible plan review documents, so make sure the drawings are readable and every applicable item is included. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the City of Dallas channels, which you can confirm with the department.
