§ 25-2-1173. PERMIT REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION.

(A)

A person may not modify a shoreline or construct or modify a dock, bulkhead, or shoreline access unless the person first obtains a site plan, except as otherwise allowed under Section 25-5-2 ( Site Plan Exemptions ), and building permit and pays the applicable fees established by ordinance. A site plan required under this section must be signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer and must include all information required by the director responsible for administering this chapter.

(B)

A permit obtained under this section shall be prominently displayed at the construction site until the final inspection and approval by the building official.

(C)

If a permit is required under this section and is not obtained before construction begins, the required fee is increased by an amount established by ordinance. Payment of the additional fee does not relieve a person from complying with the requirements of this title.

(D)

Where an inspection is required by state law, neither a Certificate of Compliance nor a final inspection may be issued for shoreline access unless the applicant has submitted an inspection report, signed by a QEI-1 inspector registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, stating that all applicable state regulations have been met.
