The Development Services Department is comprised of six (6) divisions:
Building Safety: The Building Safety division is responsible for the review, processing, issuance, and inspection of development related permits and certificates of occupancy in the Town limits and extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Building Safety is the first step in emergency response by ensuring safe and quality construction of buildings, remodels, and development. Community Integrity: The Community Integrity division performs routine consumer health in-spections, enforces development codes, coordinates the rental registration program and annual registrations, and administers the inspection, improvement, and rehabilitation of environmental hazards on public and private premises. Community Integrity protects property values, ensures neighborhood integrity, and enhances Little Elm’s image and reputation by abating grime, en-forcing property standards, and preventing community decline. Engineering: The Engineering division provides assistance and guidance to developers, contrac-tors, and external public agencies and franchises on new development, infrastructure projects, facilities, and other special projects and construction. This process includes maintaining the Town’s construction specifications and design criteria, providing civil plan review, permitting ac-tivity within the Town’s rights-of-way and other easements, conducting field inspections on the installation and construction of roadways, water and sewer lines, storm-water and drainage fa-cilities, new development, and Town facilities. Facilities/CIP: The Facilities/CIP division directs the Town’s capital improvement projects, in-cluding budget and contractor management of new buildings, remodels, and other municipal facilities and projects. Facilities/CIP equips, maintains, and operates buildings, infrastructure and grounds, and provides responsible stewardship of Town resources. GIS: The Geographic Information Systems division provides a variety of services to support daily operations for the Town of Little Elm and its customers. GIS roles include map creation, manag-ing technology, asset management, archiving infrastructure and public safety records, maintain-ing current base layers, leading special projects, and providing technical assistance, statistical analysis, consulting, guidance, and training to external and internal customers. Planning & Zoning: The Planning & Zoning division manages the planning and development is-sues of importance to Little Elm and the surrounding region by being the primary liaison be-tween the Town and developers, administering award-winning development regulations and zoning, supervising special projects, originating future plans, drafting ordinances, programming urban forestry, managing annual registrations, and providing staff support to numerous boards and commissions. Planning & Zoning ensures functional, high quality, and aesthetically pleasing development that is sustainable, coordinated, and enhances Little Elm’s long-range tax base.
