Commercial and Multi-Family Buildings

A building permit is a license that grants legal permission to start a construction project. Building permits provide a means for the Building Division to reduce the potential hazards of unsafe construction, therefore ensuring the public health, safety, and welfare. Before any construction work begins on a new structure, remodel, or renovation project, an application for a building permit should be made, reviewed & permit issued.

The City of College Station requires contractors to register prior to obtaining a building permit.

In order to register, subcontractors must provide a copy of their state license, a Certificate of Insurance, the registration fee, and a completed contractor registration form. General contractors must provide a completed contractor registration form and the registration fee.

New Development / Re-Development / Exterior Remodel / Additions / Site Improvements / Tenant Finishouts / Tenant Remodels:

Planning and Engineering Plans and Building Plans shall be submitted separately from each other for individual review procedures. Only after both plan review processes are approved for compliance can a Building Permit then be issued.
