About each permit

FEMA Building and Development Permit (commercial)

The Brazoria County Floodplain/911 Administration page states: "Building permits are required for any new or relocated structure more than 200 sq ft, manufactured home, or addition more than 50% of present evaluation of existing structure." The county Engineering letter dated January 30, 2026 ties that permit to the county's flood plain requirements. Commercial figures come from the county's FEMA Building and Development Permit Fees schedule, effective July 15, 2026, linked as "Floodplain Permit Fees" from the department's Downloadable Forms page; the schedule states that permit fees are not refundable and that "Permit fees double when construction begins before permits are obtained". The county's Building Permit Application states: "ALL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS will require approvals from the local Drainage District, Environmental Health and a Fire Code permit". It also states: "All commercial construction in Pearland's ETJ is required to contact Pearland City Hall." Call 979-864-1295.
