The Irrigation System Certificate of Completion Form is the City of Dallas document on which a Licensed Irrigator confirms that the required items were completed and provided to the property owner. It is tied to a project's permit number, so it is one of the forms handled alongside a Dallas permit, and it must be presented to the Irrigation Inspector before the final inspection is issued. On this page you can fill out the form online on FillingPDF and download or print the completed PDF; the form itself is published by the City of Dallas at the official link.

What is Irrigation System Certificate of Completion Form – Dallas, TX?
The Irrigation System Certificate of Completion Form is a City of Dallas form on which a Licensed Irrigator certifies that the closing requirements for an irrigation system were completed and provided to the property owner, and that the work complies with the rules the form lists.
The form is printed with the Planning & Development Department, 320 E Jefferson Blvd, Dallas TX 75203, and the phone number (214) 948-4480. It identifies the project by Project Address and Permit#, then lists six numbered requirements to check off:
- a written warranty;
- maintenance, alterations or repairs and a list of materials used, and any warranty, if provided;
- a final walk-through with the owner or the owner's representative to explain how the system operates;
- for new installations, a maintenance checklist (controller manual, seasonal watering schedule, components needing service, and a required statement);
- a permanent waterproof sticker on the automatic controller with the irrigator's details;
- the irrigation plan showing the actual installation.
By signing, dating and affixing the TCEQ-issued irrigator's seal, the irrigator certifies full compliance with Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 344, Landscape Irrigation, with Chapter 54, Dallas Plumbing Code, Appendix F, and with Chapter 57, Dallas One- and Two-Family Dwelling Code. The certificate is kept as part of the inspection records for the project.
Who needs to file Irrigation System Certificate of Completion Form – Dallas, TX?
The Licensed Irrigator responsible for the installation completes and signs this certificate. The form says the irrigator must sign, date and seal it with the irrigator seal issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), in accordance with Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 344, Section 344.43.
The property owner or the owner's representative is the person who receives the items listed: the warranty, the maintenance information, the walk-through, the checklist for new installations and the irrigation plan. The form does not ask the owner to sign.
Item 4, the maintenance checklist with its four parts (A) to (D), applies to new installations only.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Presenting the certificate unsigned, undated or without the TCEQ-issued irrigator's seal; the Licensed Irrigator must sign, date and seal it.
- Submitting an incomplete or illegible form; the form states that staff cannot accept incomplete or illegible documents.
- Leaving the Project Address or Permit# blank, so the certificate cannot be matched to the project's inspection records.
- Skipping the item 4 maintenance checklist on a new installation; items (A) to (D) apply to new installations.
- Checking item 5 without attaching a permanent waterproof sticker to the automatic controller showing the irrigator's name, license number, company name, telephone number and warranty period dates.
- Checking items before they are done, such as the final walk-through with the owner or the owner's representative.
- Waiting until after the final inspection to present the certificate; it is required before the final inspection is issued.
- Omitting the irrigation plan showing the actual installation of the system from what is given to the owner (item 6).
