Permits in Houston
Inside the city, fire protection plans go to the Houston Fire Marshal’s Office. Projects in surrounding cities and unincorporated Harris County go to their own fire marshals, each with its own process.
Starting the permit early, alongside the building permit, keeps fire protection from holding up a certificate of occupancy at the end of a project.
