Request Fort Worth Accela contract for data access terms

Applies if: If you represent clients with active Fort Worth permits, appeals, or code enforcement matters

Context: City Council approved the $7.1M Accela contract (M&C 26-0146) on February 24, 2026; the executed agreement is now a public record subject to disclosure under Texas Government Code Chapter 552.

Recommended: File a Texas Public Information Act request for the executed Accela contract and review the data ownership, API access, and permit-record migration clauses — if your clients have active Fort Worth permits, pending appeals, or code enforcement matters, restrictive data portability terms in the new system could limit record access or require resubmission of documents currently held in the legacy platform.

Get Fort Worth Accela permitting portal migration schedule

Applies if: If you pull permits in Fort Worth

Context: City Council approved a $7.1M contract with Accela, Inc. (M&C 26-0146) on February 24, 2026, signaling Fort Worth is migrating its permitting platform in the near term.

Recommended: Contact Fort Worth Development Services to request the Accela implementation timeline before scheduling permit submissions — platform migrations typically include a window where new applications stall and in-process reviews pause, and knowing the go-live date lets you front-load critical submissions or shift project start dates to avoid the blackout period.

Request bid file for Fort Worth's $7.1M Accela contract

Context: City Council adopted M&C 26-0146 on February 24, 2026, approving the $7.1M Accela contract as part of a consent-style agenda totaling $98.5M across 53 items.

Recommended: Submit a Texas Public Information Act request for the procurement file — specifically whether this was a sole-source award or a competitive bid, the full contract term, and the scope of services — because the contract was approved as one of 53 items in a single $98.5M session with no recorded public deliberation, and Accela contracts in other municipalities have bypassed competitive procurement.
