MAY IS BUILDING SAFETY MONTH!

Join us in recognizing the vital role building codes and enforcement professionals play in keeping our homes, businesses, and public spaces safe. Building Safety Month is a time to celebrate the often-unsung heroes who work behind the scenes to protect lives and property through the proper implementation of safety codes. Let’s take a moment to appreciate their dedication to creating safer communities for all.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DWAYNE SVATEK - MASTER CODE PROFESSIONAL

Please join us in celebrating Dwayne Svatek, Building Inspector IV – Code Specialist, for earning the prestigious Master Code Professional (MCP) certification—the highest credential in the building safety industry. With fewer than 1,100 professionals worldwide holding this certification, Dwayne’s accomplishment is truly exceptional. His dedication, expertise, and commitment to building safety make us proud to have him on the Planning and Development Services team. Way to go, Dwayne!

CODE ADOPTION PROCESS UNDERWAY

The City of Sugar Land has officially kicked off the review process for the 2024 ICC codes, with plans to update from the currently adopted 2021 editions. Our Building Safety, Fire Prevention, and Code Enforcement teams are thoroughly evaluating the new codes and considering local amendments. This important process is expected to take around six months. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to learn more and share your input as we move forward!

NEW CALL ROUTING OPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE

Calling about permits just got easier! The City of Sugar Land has introduced new call routing options through the 311 line. Instead of waiting to speak with a 311 representative and then being transferred, you can now select a prompt to connect directly with the Permits Office.

While this may result in slightly longer hold times for permit-related calls, it’s designed to improve overall efficiency and get you where you need to go faster. As always, you can bypass 311 entirely by calling the Permits Office directly at 281-275-2270.

EZTRACK NOW OFFERS TEXT MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS!

Great news for EZTrack users—inspection updates and notifications can now be sent directly to your phone via text message! In addition to email, you can receive real-time updates wherever you are.

Please note that users must acknowledge and accept the terms and conditions for receiving texts each time an inspection is scheduled. This new feature is just another way we’re working to make the process more convenient and efficient for our customers.
