Tips for Hiring Contractors,
Replacing Fences
Looking to replace your
roof or fence due to storm
damage? Here’s some helpful tips that will ensure it’s
done safely and properly:
Contractors: Your contractor should be registered with
the Town and obtain required
permits from Building Inspections BEFORE work begins. Check that your contractor obtained a permit and later completed the required
final inspection at https://etrakit.flower-mound.com/.
Fencing: All new fencing and all work on existing fences (including fence replacements) requires a fence permit. Pickets may be replaced without obtaining a permit if the new pickets are the same material, size and
height as those being replaced. Residents should also be
mindful of any HOA or deed restrictions, if applicable.
More information: For more helpful information on permit requirements, how to select a contractor, a list of registered contractors, and more please visit http://www.flower-mound.com/170/Building-Information-and-Permits.
Bruton Orand Water Tower
Project Begins
If you’ve driven by the
Bruton Orand water tower recently, you’ve noticed
it looks a little different.
It’s being repainted! Here’s
the 4-1-1 on the project:
• This is the first time
the water tower is being repainted since it came online
in 1996
• Water towers generally need repainting once every 1520 years or so
• The process takes about three months to complete
– first the old paint is sandblasted off, any necessary
repairs are completed, and then the tower is given a
fresh coat of paint
• It will have the Flower Mound High School logo
painted on it
• This project is estimated to be complete by June
