Summary

Fulshear has adopted the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code and enforces violations through its Code Compliance Division.

The Code Compliance Department maintains Fulshear's status as a clean, livable city by ensuring property complies with rules set by City Council. Code Compliance is responsible for enforcing the City ordinances related to Housing, Signs, Litter, Illegal Dumping, Weeds and Commercial Property. Trash & Debris When trash and debris accumulate, it is not only unsightly but very unhealthy. Old junk, garbage, tires, rubbish, furniture, appliances, car parts or anything else stored outside can be dangerous and is prohibited. Violators are issued a warning notice to perform specific action within an allotted time frame. If the warning notice goes unheeded, violators face large fines and penalties. Junk Motor Vehicles Motor vehicles that are inoperative and/or partially dismantled and have expired license tags or safety stickers are considered "junk motor vehicles". These vehicles are in violation of the City Code. Owners of the vehicles and all lien holders will be notified of the violation by certified mail. Should the owner fail to remove the junk motor vehicle from the property or prove the vehicle operable, the vehicle will be towed and sold for salvage.
