Important Notice - Intake Procedure Changes

Beginning January 1, 2021, Denton County Development Services will implement a new procedure for the intake of development and culvert permits.

1. Permits may be submitted in person to the Morse Street Facility, via mail, or via email to developmentpermits@dentoncounty.gov. No permit fees are due at time of submittal.  
2. The permit application packet will be reviewed for completeness. Incomplete submittals (i.e. missing required documents, missing information on the application, illegible writing on the application) will be rejected and you will be required to resubmit a complete package. All checks attached to an incomplete submittal will be destroyed and any payment submitted online associated with an incomplete submittal will be voided.  

After the permit package has been deemed administratively complete, you will be contacted via email with the fee(s) associated with your application. This email will contain a tracking number that must be placed on all checks, or in the Receipt field on the Certified Payments portal if paying with a credit card. Failure to include this tracking number will result in your check being destroyed or online payment being voided. Once payment is received your permit will be placed in the queue for processing.
