Unincorporated Liberty County has no county building-code, plumbing, mechanical or roofing permit. The county charges a flat building permit for each new building of 100 square feet or more ($125 residential, $450 commercial), plus $0.15 per square foot in the floodplain, and a $100 electric meter permit to obtain electrical service. New businesses in an enclosed building also pay a $250 occupancy permit and need a Fire Marshal permit, whose fees are not published and not included here. Work started without a permit pays double. Work inside a city's limits is permitted by that city.

In Unincorporated Liberty County, a building permit for a $50,000 remodel runs $125.00 in permit fees, and a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $100.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees. 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.
