Stormwater Quality Renewals & Transfers Checklist

Stormwater Quality Renewal Packet

If your Stormwater Quality permit is under the renewal phase, an inspection from Harris County is not necessary.  Please refer to the Plan Review tab on this page to see what is needed to submit for renewal of your Stormwater Quality permit. If your Stormwater Quality permit has not passed Final Inspection, please refer to the Inspections page for information on how to submit for Final Inspection.

This application is for Stormwater Quality (SWQ) Renewals and Transfers.  After the SWQ permit has received a Final Inspection and the Certificate of Compliance has been issued, the SWQ permit will be subject to annual renewal. 

If ownership of the property has changed, then the SWQ permit is subject to transfer.  The application for transfer of the SWQ permit can be submitted in ePermits. When the SWQ permit is transferred to a MUD, the MUD letter indicating that the MUD agrees to the responsibility of maintenance of the SWQ feature is required. The letter must be provided on MUD letterhead and signed by the President of the MUD.

Please refer to the Plan Review tab on this page for more information on what is required for renewal and transfer of the SWQ permit.
