Shenandoah requires property maintenance and brush clearance through its code enforcement. Building permits include clearing requirements. Contact Community Development at shenandoahtx.us for clearing permits.
The City of Shenandoah Community Development Department oversees property maintenance including vegetation and brush on lots. Overgrown vegetation that creates a fire hazard or nuisance may be cited through code enforcement. Shenandoah has adopted the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code which provides authority to address dangerous vegetation. Construction projects that require land clearing need permits through Community Development. Since outdoor burning is prohibited, cleared brush must be hauled away or chipped. Contact Community Development at 281-298-5522.
