Humble is not located in a designated wildfire hazard area. The city sits in the humid Gulf Coast region with low wildfire risk, and no special wildfire-zone building or landscaping requirements apply to residential properties under the Code of Ordinances.
The City of Humble is situated in the Gulf Coast region of Southeast Texas, which is classified as a low wildfire risk area due to high humidity, flat terrain, and regular rainfall. The Texas A&M Forest Service does not designate Humble or Harris County as a wildfire-urban interface zone. As a result, Humble does not impose wildfire-specific building codes such as fire-resistant roofing, defensible space clearing, or special vegetation management zones around structures. Standard fire prevention codes under the International Fire Code as adopted by the city still apply, including general requirements for vegetation clearance around structures and proper storage of flammable materials. Residents in heavily wooded areas should still maintain reasonable clearance around structures as a best practice. The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office handles wildfire-related concerns for the broader county area. Contact Humble Community Development at (281) 446-4331 for fire safety questions.
No wildfire-zone-specific violations apply in Humble. Standard fire code violations for improper storage of combustible materials or obstructed fire access may still result in notices and fines.
