Development Services Dept. Launches New Educational Series

The Development Services Department is introducing the DSD Info Series, a new initiative aimed at providing community members with knowledge on permitting, housing development and property maintenance. The sessions, available both online and in-person, will connect Austinites with city resources and services. The first session, “Permitting: Where Do I Start?”, takes place March 25 and will guide homeowners, small business owners and neighborhood groups through the permitting process. Subsequent sessions will focus on housing opportunities under the HOME Initiative, with discussions on duplexes, multi-unit properties and tiny homes scheduled for April 15 and April 22. The series will also include an in-person home maintenance workshop at the George Morales Dove Springs Recreation Center on April 26. Registration and other info is available online.
