How to Apply for a Permit in Fulshear

Apply online through the City of Fulshear GovWell permit portal. Questions and status updates go to the Planning Department at permits@fulsheartexas.gov or 281-346-1796. Work inside the city limits and the extraterritorial jurisdiction needs a permit before it starts. Contractors must register with the city first (general residential and commercial, irrigation, sign and pool contractors pay a $200 annual registration; electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractors register at no fee) and give the city their license, a driver's license and proof of at least $1,000,000 general liability insurance naming the city as additional insured. Electrical inspection fees are collected from the building permit applicant, not from the electrician.
