Building Board of Appeals

Purpose


The Building Board of Appeals consists of five Southlake residents and two alternate members who have been appointed by the City Councilfor two-year terms.

In making appointments to the Board, the city Council will give consideration to persons who are qualified by experience and training to pass on matters pertaining to building construction, mechanical design, plumbing systems or electrical systems, or who have practical experience in matters relating to building construction or value such as a mortgage banker or licensed real estate agent.
