About Building Permits in Humble

CORRECTION: AHJ changed from Harris County to the City of Humble. Inside Humble city limits the City of Humble Building & Inspection Department (114 W. Higgins St, Chief Building Official Ray Pearson, 281-446-6228) is the correct AHJ; Harris County's Office of the County Engineer Permits Division regulates only unincorporated areas. Texas has no statewide residential code; Humble adopted the 2018 IRC (Code of Ordinances Ch. 4, Art. 4.02) plus 2018 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFC, 2017 NEC, and 2018 Energy Code. Permits filed via the iWorq portal, though most plan-review permits must be submitted in person. Residential fees from the official Oct 1, 2024 fee schedule: Building Permit $50.00 + $0.32/sq ft of roof-covered floor space; Fence $50.00 + $1.00/25 LF; Electrical $50-$150; Plumbing $50-$100.
