Amended Chapter 27

Amended Chapter 27 of the Hurst Code of Ordinances to regulate the use of Food Trucks throughout the City. This new ordinance allows food trucks to be located at an existing business which helps promote special events and generate more customers for existing retailers.

2021 Building Codes

2021 building codes were adopted with amendments recommended by the North Central Texas Council of Government. New code editions are available every three (3) years for adoption. They establish minimum requirements to provide a reasonable level of safety, health, and general welfare.

Code Updates

The Fire Department (along with the Building Department) submits code updates every five years to the City Council for their consideration and adoption. This year, the 2021 Fire Codes were adopted by the City Council. Adopting new codes allows the City to maintain current practices that help safeguard citizens and businesses.
