Planning & Development
Introduction
The Planning & Development Department helps guide the growth and development of Grand Prairie to ensure a safe, attractive, and
well-planned community. The department includes two key divisions: Planning and Building Inspections, which work closely with
residents, developers, and business owners.
The Planning Division manages zoning, plats, and site plan reviews, and leads long-range planning efforts such as the
Comprehensive Plan and corridor studies to shape future growth. The Building Inspections Division reviews construction plans,
issues permits, and conducts inspections to ensure that homes, businesses, and public buildings meet safety and building code
standards.
The department also handles Change of Occupancy reviews and issues Certificates of Occupancy when projects are completed.
With a focus on customer service, quality development, and safety, Planning & Development plays a key role in maintaining Grand
Prairie’s character while supporting its continued growth.
