What shapes a project in Dallas
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Older housing across the city
The 2020-2024 American Community Survey counted about 590,000 housing units in Dallas, with a median year built of 1981. About 48 percent were built before 1980, and about 22 percent before 1960. Older homes often call for wiring, plumbing and window updates during a remodel.
A large share of multi-unit housing
About 41 percent of Dallas housing units are single-family detached homes, while about 47 percent are in buildings with five or more units. Condo owners should expect association approval steps for remodels.
Landmarks and demolition delay areas
Dallas's Office of Historic Preservation reviews work on landmark structures through Certificates of Appropriateness, filed through the DallasNow portal. The office also covers historic overlay districts and demolition delay overlay districts, so check both before planning exterior work or demolition.
