I realize that the information that I have stated hereon forms a basis for the issuance of the Building Permit herein applied for and approved of any plans in connection therewith shall not be construed to permit any construction upon said premises or use thereof in violation of any provision of the Jacksboro City Code or any other ordinance or to excuse the owner or his successors from complying therewith.

All contract work on this project will be done by a contractor holding a valid privilege tax license and contractor’s license issued by the State of Texas and the City of Jacksboro.

    The granting of a permit does not presume to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of any other state or local law relating to construction, nor does it give authorization or approval of encroach on any easement or property or violate any deed restrictions.  

    The City of Jacksboro shall never be liable for any damage or loss by reason of the issuance hereof.  Each holder and other persons acting under authority of this permit are personally responsible for compliance with all the State and Local provisions, whether or not specified herein, and assume the entire risks incidental to the work being permitted.

    I understand construction debris cannot be dumped within the city limits nor at the city’s transfer station.  I understand it is my responsibility to make arrangements for the dumping/discarding of construction debris.
