on providing digital documents online to
allow easy access. Please check back

I have a Tomball mailing address,
how can I find out if my property is
within the City Limits?
Zip codes
and mailing addresses are set by the US
Postal Service and do not always
correspond with the city limits so you
may have a Tomball mailing address but
not actually reside in the City of
Tomball. If you want to identify a
specific address, it is best to refer to
the
Map Library.
In addition, you may request a map of
the City boundaries through an Open
Records Request.

limits but it is directly adjacent, can
I request annexation?

Request.

How long will it take for my

The goal for the department is 2-3
weeks.
Once you submit your plans or permit

documents and plans included are
reviewed by technical experts to ensure
compliance with development codes and
regulations. As each reviewer completes
the review, he or she will either
"sign-off" on the approval or return
marked-up plans with comments to the
customer for revisions. When the
necessary approvals are obtained, you
will receive your approved plans /
permit application to begin work.
How do I get a survey of my
property?
The City does not provide surveys for
private property. You will need to
contact a surveyor to have one prepared.

all plats that are within the corporate
city limits filed through Harris County.
