Permitting

Animated check mark
Chambers County requires permitting for any commercial or residential development, including additions or remodeling. Permits must be reviewed to ensure compliance with county regulations, including but not limited to Subdivision Regulations, Drainage Criteria, Fire Code, and Environmental Health.

  1. Residential Permitting Steps
  2. Commercial Permitting Steps
  1. Submit your application via the online portal at the My Government Online Website. Upload proof of property ownership (property deed, appraisal district information, or tax records) along with a design or floor plan of the residential structure (Examples: homes, shops, carports, swimming pools, etc.) For projects located in a flood zone, an elevation certificate may be required for review.
  2. Once approvals are complete, and appropriate fees have been paid, the permit will be issued by email and also downloaded via the permitting portal. Fees may be paid online with a credit card, mailed to P.O. Box 1180, Anahuac, TX 77514, or in person at the Permit Office located at 201-A Airport Road, Anahuac, TX.

Please contact the permitting office at 409-267-2700 for any questions concerning commercial or residential permitting.
