Inspections, the permit form and a slab
The City of Bruceville-Eddy runs a building inspection program under the building codes it has adopted, with Bureau Veritas as its Building Inspector and help from outside sources as needed. The City says the end goal of those regulations is "primarily the health and safety of both our current and future residents."
Its 2025 New Permit Application and Site Plan form, posted in January 2026, is a scanned image whose work types and fees couldn't be read, and nothing found says which slabs need a permit, so ask the City at 144 Wilcox Drive in Eddy first.
By one published guide's rule of thumb, a slab deeper than 5 inches gets rebar or welded wire fabric, while many well-based slabs with proper joints need none. NRMCA asks for at least 2 inches of concrete over any steel. See business floors, the drive out to a new garage or all Bruceville-Eddy services.

Codes, crawl spaces and manufactured homes
How do you know if your house is on a slab?
A slab house's floor is concrete laid on the ground, at least 3½ inches thick under the residential code. Open space under the floor framing means no slab: a manufactured home set to the state's generic standards keeps at least 18 inches between the ground and its floor joists.
Which building code applies to a new house in a Texas city?
Under Texas law, the code for homes in every Texas city is the International Residential Code in the form it had on May 1, 2012, and a city can make local amendments only by ordinance after a public hearing. Bruceville-Eddy's own adopted edition wasn't found, so ask the City.
What sets the foundation rules for a manufactured home in Texas?
The state's installation rules: a licensed installer sets a new manufactured home to the maker's DAPIA-approved instructions, and a used one to those, the state's generic standards, a registered stabilization system or a special system approved by a Texas-licensed engineer or architect.
