Foundation work in El Paso
El Paso's One Stop Shop (811 Texas Ave., El Paso, 79901) is the primary intake point for building permits and the main place to pay for them. The city's pages don't say which permit a foundation repair takes or whether it needs a sealed engineering plan, so ask Planning and Inspections at (915) 212-0104 before a company prices the permit into its bid. The lobby stays open until 5:30 p.m.
Monday to Thursday and closes at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, while the call center opens at 7:00 a.m. on those four weekdays; the page dates those hours to October 30, 2023. Applications, permit status and invoices are handled in the Citizen Access Portal. For codes, El Paso's Adopted Codes and Amendments document names 2021 residential and building editions alongside the 2020 NEC. Owners hold 60.8 percent of El Paso's occupied units, and the homes they live in have a median value of $184,500 in the Census ACS for 2020-2024.
None of the 41 programs on TDLR's regulated-industries list is foundation repair or general contracting, so this is work with no TDLR license to look up. Ask the company which permit it will pull, and get that answer on the bid.
