Tried to obtain a permit to plane our house. Secretary told us that we would have to have a Survey of our city lot. The house is contained by the middle of the lot (not near a boundary). I relayed info to our contractor that we hired. He went above her person in charge and obtained the permit from her boss ( short the Survey) . Is this a law? My contractor had never have this request before. This is a small town in Texas and not a soul seems to be on the same page. Does anyone enjoy any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

That would be a local law. County or city. That's where you will find your answer. If the licence is signed by the secretaries boss the secretary can not dismiss it. But if you need any other permits from her department you may not get a friendly reception. Small Texas towns are noteworthy for man able to take indignation. If you are going to be living there it is better to make friends than enemy. Try to smooth things over.
