Missouri City, TX Permit Fees (2026)
Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Missouri City, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.
Commercial building fees follow the City's adopted valuation table, whose printed bases do not run continuously (the fee dips slightly at $500,000). Residential roofing, window, siding, patio, solar panel, foundation, driveway and generator fees come from the City's adopted fee resolution; the City's current residential permit form no longer lists them, so confirm them with the City. Fire code permit fees and many itemized electrical, mechanical, plumbing and gas lines are not included. Work started before a permit is issued is charged double fees.
In Missouri City, a building permit for a $50,000 remodel runs $138.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $78.00, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $70.00, and a whole-house repipe $110.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 15-fixture scope. Each figure is that single permit only: a job that combines trades, like a kitchen remodel with electrical and plumbing work, pays each applicable permit.
