Pantego
Pantego says most construction and repair projects need a permit, except for wall coverings, floor coverings and minor repairs. A contractor applying for a homeowner first registers on the town's online portal. Its population has held steady between about 2,300 and 2,600 since 1980, which suggests most of its homes are decades old, by our reading. Building department: 817-617-3700.
Dalworthington Gardens
Dalworthington Gardens began in the 1930s as a Depression-era subsistence homestead project. Its residential permit packet says every contractor must register with the city before starting work, and that foundation plans must be certified and inspected by a structural engineer. The packet covers residential permits generally, so ask the city at 817-274-7368 how that applies to a repair.
