What Melissa publishes
The city's Building Permits Information sheet (revised 12-7-2016) says "All contractors need to register with the City of Melissa each calendar year" before a permit is issued. The sheet is written for new construction and doesn't mention foundation repair, so ask the city what applies. Building phone listed on the sheet: 972-838-2036.
