How to Apply for a Permit in Arcola

Apply for every permit online through the City of Arcola's iWorQ permit portal; the City issues building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roof and other permits itself, and each trade needs its own permit. Contractors must submit a permit for each address before starting work in the City of Arcola. Most permits need a plan showing the proposed changes; demolitions without build-backs, electrical, mechanical/HVAC, plumbing, water heater and reroofing permits do not need plans. A homeowner doing the work must have a homestead exemption on file with the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District before applying for a residential permit, except roof permits. Fire prevention and inspection permits are applied for with the Fort Bend County Fire Marshal. Contact the Permits Department before starting work to confirm whether a permit is needed.
