Remodeling, additions, and custom homes in Katy
Harris County · Fort Bend County · Waller County, Texas
The short answer
Yes, we work in Katy.
The Katy area straddles three counties, and most of what people call "Katy" sits outside the city limits proper. That matters more than anything else for your project, because it decides who issues your permit.
What tends to come up on Katy projects
-
A Katy mailing address can be inside the City of Katy, in a city ETJ, or in unincorporated Harris, Fort Bend, or Waller County. Each has a different building department.
-
Many neighborhoods are in master-planned communities with HOA architectural review that runs before, not instead of, the permit.
-
Slab-on-grade foundations and clay soils are common, so drainage and foundation condition come up on most additions.
Who issues the permit
Inside the city limits, permits typically go through the City of Katy. Outside them, they typically go through the county. We confirm which applies to your exact lot before anything is submitted.
Not yet verified against the jurisdiction's own published source. Treat this as orientation, not as permit advice; we confirm it for your exact address before anything is submitted.
