Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical/HVAC permit fees for Anahuac, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.

The City's posted 2022 fee sheet and its basic permit application print some plumbing and electrical amounts that differ from the adopted 2019 ordinance (for example plumbing fixtures at $2 each, water heaters at $15, pool supply and drain at $10, and sewer or water line inspections at $100 instead of $30); this page uses the ordinance figures, so ask City Hall (409-267-6681) which amount applies before you budget.
