Fulshear requires permits for grading, drainage, and site work under its Construction Standards chapter, with city engineering review for lot drainage and infrastructure.
Chapter 8, Article II of Fulshear's Code of Ordinances sets construction standards for site work, including grading and drainage. The city has adopted the 2015 International Codes as amended, and Development Services reviews lot drainage plans through its permitting and inspection program. Plans must be submitted via plans@FulshearTexas.Gov and meet city public infrastructure standards. Site grading that alters drainage onto adjoining properties or right-of-way is regulated, and the Coordinated Development Ordinance Article III on Site Development sets additional design requirements.
Stop work orders, permit revocation, daily fines, and required restoration of altered drainage patterns.
