Heating and cooling in New Braunfels
New Braunfels' plumbing and electrical permit application forms print "Applicable Building Codes: 2021 IBC, IRC, IFC, IFGC, IPC, IMC, 2021 IECC, 2020 NEC." That edition list comes from forms with no revision date, so treat the 2021 editions of the mechanical and energy codes as what the forms state. The Development Services Division (Transportation & Construction Services) handles permitting, plan review and inspections through the Permit Portal, and the Building Division processes building permit applications and conducts the required inspections.
The address for City Hall is 550 Landa St., New Braunfels, TX 78130, and the main phone is 830-221-4000, which is the City Hall footer number rather than a building counter line. New Braunfels' pages don't print a mechanical permit fee, so ask the Building Division what a replacement permit costs. Occupations Code section 1302.304 has kept cities from collecting registration fees from TDLR license holders in air conditioning since September 1, 2021, but it leaves building permit fees in place.
To check a contractor's license, use the Air Conditioning Contractors inquiry on TDLR's license search. New Braunfels' owner-occupied homes have a median value of $339,400, with a median year built of 2006 (Census survey, 2020 to 2024). City Hall's main number, 830-221-4000, is the only phone the pages give for permits.
