Design and permit drawings in Fulshear

West of Katy, Fulshear is full of new master-planned communities and homes on larger lots. We design custom homes, additions, pools and outdoor living there, with drawings ready for the city and the HOA.

Permits in Fulshear

The City of Fulshear's Planning Services department handles permits, inspections and payments through its GovWell portal. The city has adopted the International Residential Code with local amendments; homes in a flood hazard area must turn in elevation documentation before final inspection, and new wood shingle or shake roofs are not allowed. Outside the city, Fort Bend County Engineering issues development permits for new homes and for additions of 400 square feet or more.

HOA design review

In master-planned communities such as Cross Creek Ranch, exterior changes and additions need design review committee approval before construction starts. We prepare the drawings and renderings for it.

Questions

Do I need HOA approval for an addition in Fulshear?

In many communities, yes. Cross Creek Ranch, for example, requires design review committee approval before any exterior work starts. We prepare what the committee asks for.

My lot is outside Fulshear city limits. Who issues the permit?

Fort Bend County Engineering, which issues development permits for new homes, additions of 400 square feet or more and any work in the 100-year floodplain.
