Fulshear's Annexation History and What It Means for Permitting

How Fulshear's rapid annexation has shifted which office handles permitting on formerly unincorporated land.

From County to City

Fulshear has annexed a significant amount of previously unincorporated Fort Bend County land as it's grown, which means a lot that was once permitted through the county is now permitted through the city, with its own fee schedule and review process.

Confirming Current Jurisdiction

Because annexation boundaries have shifted more than once in recent years, confirming current city-versus-county jurisdiction for a specific address is a first step rather than an assumption carried over from an older project nearby.
