Why does the City of Bryan require building permits?
The City of Bryan and all other cities across the country use the building permit process to verify that construction or development will comply with building codes and zoning ordinances. The building codes and zoning ordinances are adopted by the city council and become the law of the city. The development projects are also inspected to insure that they are in compliance. Building codes and ordinances help protect the health, safety, and welfare of a structure’s occupants.
