Metal Buildings in Wolfforth, TX
Shops, garages and carports in Wolfforth, southwest of Lubbock.
Wolfforth has its own building department, which means permits go through the city instead of Lubbock, and you apply online through the city's public portal.
You need a permit before work starts on a new building or an addition, and the city says carports need one too. Small storage sheds under 200 square feet are the one exception, since they don't need a building permit.
There's one more rule worth knowing. If a steel building is welded together, the city may want a third-party inspector to check the welds. That applies to commercial jobs and to bigger homes, and the builder pays for it.
