Frequently Asked Questions About Building Permits

Get answers to common questions about Houston permit requirements

Do I need a permit for my remodeling project?

Most remodeling projects in Houston require permits, especially those involving structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, or HVAC installations. Even some cosmetic changes may need permits. Tell Projects can evaluate your project and determine exactly which permits are required.

How long does the permit approval process take?

Houston permit approval typically takes 2-6 weeks depending on project complexity and city workload. Simple permits (electrical panel upgrade) may be approved in 1-2 weeks, while complex projects (home additions) may take 4-6 weeks. We offer expedited processing for urgent projects.

What happens if I remodel without permits?

Working without required permits can result in stop-work orders, fines up to $2,000 per day, difficulty selling your home, insurance claim denials, and requirements to tear out completed work for inspection. Always obtain proper permits before starting any significant remodeling project.

What documents are needed for permit applications?

Houston permit applications typically require site plans, floor plans, elevation drawings, structural calculations, engineering stamps for certain work, contractor license information, and project specifications. Tell Projects prepares all required documents and coordinates with engineers when needed.

How much do building permits cost in Houston?

Houston permit fees vary by project scope. Simple permits (water heater replacement) may cost $50-150, while major remodels can range from $500-2,000+. Fees are based on project value, square footage, and work type. We provide accurate cost estimates before starting your permit application.

Can you handle permits for all types of remodeling?

Yes, Tell Projects handles permits for all residential remodeling projects including kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, garage conversions, electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, HVAC installations, structural changes, and complete home renovations throughout Houston.
