Important: Confirm Your Jurisdiction
A Katy mailing address does not establish the permitting authority for your project. Katy-area properties may fall within the City of Katy, unincorporated Harris County, or another jurisdiction depending on the exact property location. Confirm the applicable permitting authority using the exact property address before submitting any permit application.
Jurisdiction Information
Reference county: Harris County
Katy is commonly associated with Harris County, but a Katy mailing address does not place every property in Harris County or within the City of Katy. The applicable permitting authority depends on the exact project address — properties within the city limits are typically permitted through the city, while unincorporated areas fall under county jurisdiction. Confirm the permitting authority for your specific address before submitting a permit application.
Local Engineering Considerations
Floodplain & Drainage: Many Katy-area projects require stormwater detention, drainage design, and floodplain compliance for new development and significant redevelopment. Drainage criteria vary by jurisdiction and may require coordination with the county flood control district.
Foundations: Texas clay soils expand and contract with moisture changes, making foundation engineering critical for residential and commercial projects in Katy.
