Permit Fees Waived 90 Days on Storm Related Repairs

Permit fees for commercial and residential remodels are temporarily waived for the next 90 days for all permits related to plumbing repairs, along with repairs to walls, floors and ceilings caused by the freezing precipitation in our area.

To qualify, the commercial or residential homeowner shall submit a completed permit application. The permit shall include a qualified plumber, according to State of Texas standards, who is registered with the City of Sachse. All plumbing repairs shall be made by the selected plumbing professional.

All work is subject to field inspection by the City. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City requires all contractors to provide several pictures of their work. These pictures shall show all work that has been performed inside of walls before it is covered up, as well as the finished product. These pictures shall be sent to the City inspectors for review and approval of the work. All commercial remodels will be inspected in person. Click here for more information and permit applications.

Submit Your Storm Damage Assessment Survey

The City of Sachse needs your help in assessing how much damage our community sustained from the storm. Emergency management professionals use a number of tools to determine how much damage an event created. One of those tools is the damage assessment contained in the survey link below.

If you sustained damage from the storm, please take a moment to complete the survey. This survey will provide important data to state and federal officials regarding the impacts of the storm. As noted in the survey, completing this form does not replace contacting your insurance provider, nor does it secure any kind of state or federal funding to help resolve the issues. The purpose is to try and measure how much damage occurred. Complete the survey by visiting: https://arcg.is/uOrOb.

Discover Your Bulk & Brush Collection Day

The City has new times to set out your bulk trash and brush collection. Bulk trash needs to be placed out no earlier than 48 hours prior to your scheduled collection day. What about brush? It goes out on the Saturday prior to your collection day.

Not sure about your collection day? Check the interactive map on our bulk trash webpage: www.cityofsachse.com/bulktrash. You'll find information about what is considered bulk trash and the items included in brush.

Confused? Have questions? We're here to help.
