Permits in Katy

Inside the City of Katy, plans go to the city's building permit department. Many Katy addresses are outside the city limits, in unincorporated Harris, Fort Bend or Waller County, where the county handles development and floodplain permits. Most master-planned communities add an HOA or architectural review. We confirm which offices apply to your address before we draw.
