Pre-Development submittals must be received and acknowledged before noon on Tuesday to be considered at the 3:00 PM meeting.

Pre-Development Meetings are held every Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams. 

The purpose of the Pre-Development meeting is to introduce the developer to local development and building regulations, and the City officials responsible for all aspects of development in Texas City. The developer is given the opportunity to discuss a project with City Officials and receive input. Staff will answer your questions about the various City Ordinances pertinent to your project, the permitting and development processes, and rules and regulations adopted by the City. These are optional, informal meetings offered to assist you in preparing to make application to the City of Texas City. These meetings are not required. No approval will be given.
