When do Texas Accessibility Standards apply to my remodel?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) are Texas's ADA-adjacent accessibility code administered by the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation. Single-family residential remodels generally do NOT trigger TAS. Multi-family, condo-conversion, and mixed-use residential with common areas can trigger partial TAS scoping when alteration thresholds are met. A homeowner remodeling a single-family Dallas home almost never hits TAS; a duplex or triplex conversion sometimes does.
