Unraveling the Mysteries of ETJ Development

  • LJA Engineering 6060 North Central Expressway Suite 400 Dallas, TX, 75206 United States (map)

Join us on June 24, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM CDT for an insightful Lunch & Learn as we dive into the often-overlooked complexities of developing within a city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Kyle Salzman, P.E. from LJA, will help demystify how ETJs function, what authority cities actually have within them, and how these zones compare to development inside city limits or unincorporated counties.

We’ll cover:
 • The powers a city does (and doesn’t) have within its ETJ
 • Challenges and benefits of ETJ development
 • The opt-out process and when it makes sense
 • Real-world examples—bring your stories!

This session is designed to encourage open dialogue, so come ready to share your experiences and questions.

Lunch provided. RSVP required.
