Rosenberg requires lot grading plans, drainage area maps, and on-site and off-site drainage system plans for subdivisions, with reviews coordinated through the City Engineer and Fort Bend County Drainage District.
Under Rosenberg's Unified Development Code and Design Standards, subdivision and site development submissions must include a drainage area map, a lot grading plan, and preliminary plans for the on-site and off-site drainage system. Drainage plans are coordinated with and approved by the Fort Bend County Drainage District, and the City Engineer reviews compliance with detention, conveyance, and grading criteria before construction permits are issued.
Grading or drainage work performed without an approved plan can trigger stop-work orders, mandatory regrading or detention installation, and fines under the City's Code of Ordinances.
