  • At installation and at least once per year thereafter

Penalty exposure

  • Late reports can miss Lewisville's ten-day submission rule even if the test itself was completed.
  • The City warns that not every registered tester can test every assembly type.
  • Lewisville's code language includes service shutoff and fine exposure.
Compliance workflow

Official workflow

Every focused page on this utility still runs through this authority sequence. Confirm the rule here before you branch into repair, testing, or provider routing.

  1. Confirm the property falls into one of Lewisville's listed hazard categories or has received a City notice.
  2. Use a Texas-licensed tester who is currently registered with the City of Lewisville.
  3. Submit the completed test through BSI Online within ten days of the test date.
  4. Use the tester list carefully, because not every tester is licensed for every assembly type.
