City of Perryton

A building permit is required before a wall, structure, building, or part of one is built, enlarged, or altered. Building permits are required for each new installation of a modular or manufactured home. Plumbing permits are required for inspections required under the city plumbing code. Electrical permits are required for inspections required under the city electrical code. Irrigation permits are required for all newly installed irrigation systems.

Note: The city has adopted ICC and NFPA codes that contain their own standard permit-exemption sections, but the city does not publish a separate applicant-facing exemption list. Verify exemptions with City Hall or the Building Official.

Owner-builder

For irrigation work, the code recognizes state-law exemptions for certain homeowner work on the owner's home premises.

Contractor requirements

Irrigation systems must be installed and maintained by a Texas-licensed irrigator unless a listed state-law exemption applies. State trade licensing rules still apply where Texas law requires them. No citywide local general contractor registration requirement was found in the public materials reviewed.
