Two Counties, One City
Because the city straddles a county line, the county on your tax statement may not be the one your neighbor across town has. Inside city limits, the City of Waller’s permits and inspections office decides what needs a permit. We could not load its published rules when this page was written, so ask City Hall before a re-roof.
Outside the city, Waller County or Harris County handles it, depending on which side of the line the property is.
