Foundation work in Midland
A residential building permit in Midland is required for repairs as well as new construction, additions and remodeling, its Building Permits page says, and only the property owner or the owner's bonded contractor holding a license can get one. In PermitMidland you pay 25% of the fee when you apply, plan review takes about 5 to 7 business days, and the other 75% is due at approval; a bonded contractor has to be listed before the permit issues.
Ordinance 10710, effective February 1, 2026, lists a residential floor and foundation clearing deposit of $600.00, and the city's Applications & Schedules page offers a Residential Building, Alteration & Repair Application. Neither says what a foundation repair has to include. On Midland's Building Codes page, updated 10/08/2026, the residential code is still the 2018 IRC, under a heading dated July 1, 2019. Permitting and Inspections is at 300 N Loraine St #430, Midland TX 79701.
Applications and payments aren't accepted after 4 PM, the clerk answers at 432-685-7390, and residential permit questions can go to permitrequests@midlandtexas.gov. The Census profile for Midland has 65.1 percent of units owner-occupied, a $319,200 median value where owners live, and 1989 as the median build year. Email permitrequests@midlandtexas.gov with two questions: does a foundation repair go on the Alteration & Repair Application, and does the $600.00 deposit apply?
