Building Packets

To begin the planning of your building construction project, please review the links below to either the residential or commercial building packets as applicable.  These packets explain the process for plan review, fees, inspections and permitting for your project.  If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at 361-865-3548.

Once you are ready to begin your project, you will be required to come to City Hall to receive a hard copy of the packet, receive an overview briefing of the process from the Building Department representative, and then sign for the packet acknowledging compliance with the permitting process.
