Where do I submit my plans and how long does it generally take for them to be processed?

They are processed as follows:

  • Submit 3 sets of drawings and 1 electronic set - PDF to the Permits, Zoning & Code Enforcement Department (2610 S. Main, Stafford, TX, 77477) along with a completed Building Permit Application, staff will review the form for completeness and you will be assessed a permit and/ or plan check fee. A certificate of Occupancy is only issued AFTER there is approval from, Building, Zoning, City Engineer, and the Fire Marshal.
  • Documents are then processed and routed to the Fire Marshal’s Office located at 2702 S. Main, Stafford, TX, 77477. (Processing and routing time is generally two working days)
  • Plans are reviewed in the order in which they are received (no exceptions).
  • Once the Fire Marshal's Office signs off on the plans, any recommendations, corrections required and inspections needed will be notated on the plans. They will be returned to the Permits, Zoning & Code Enforcement Department.
