More homes date from the 1980s (29%) than from any other decade, followed by the 1970s (18%), and about 58% of homes are owner-occupied. Carrollton also spans three counties: in the 2020 Census about 61% of residents lived in Denton County, 38% in Dallas County and a small number in Collin County. In a house that age, plan the remodel with its systems in mind. When a kitchen or bath is opened, that is the moment to replace old supply lines, add circuits and improve ventilation in that part of the house, rather than closing the walls on 40-year-old work. Our [bathroom remodeling cost guide](https://ggsremodelingtx.com/blog/bathroom-remodeling-cost-dfw/) shows how those items move a budget.

For a residential remodel, the city wants a complete set of construction documents, scaled and labeled, that shows existing and proposed conditions. Taking out a wall needs either evidence that it is not load-bearing or engineered structural plans. Additions need a plot plan or survey showing setbacks and easements, plus foundation, wall-bracing and engineered floor and roof plans designed by a professional engineer. The city adopted the 2024 International codes and the 2023 National Electrical Code with local amendments, effective September 1, 2025, and publishes guidelines for virtual inspections. Real project, during the work: primary bathroom remodel. - Inspections: 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. Friday - No inspections on Friday afternoons - Book before 7:00 a.m. for an inspection that business day; later requests go to the next one - Upload each discipline as its own PDF with a plain file name Sources: [City of Carrollton, Building Inspection submittal requirements](https://www.cityofcarrollton.com/departments/departments-a-f/building-inspection/submittal-requirements); [City of Carrollton, Codes & Ordinances](https://www.cityofcarrollton.com/departments/departments-a-f/building-inspection/codes-ordinances); [City of Carrollton, Building Inspection (inspection hours)](https://www.cityofcarrollton.com/departments/departments-a-f/building-inspection).
