It appears that Harris County is taking setps to continue what the TRCC used to provide in the way of residential code inspections for new construction in its jurisdiction.  Watch this space and PEI will post new information as it becomes available.  Below is an email sent to PEI related to this new program.

As the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) sunsets, unincorporated Harris County under the provisions of Texas House Bill 2833, will implement a Notification of Inspections process similar to TRCCs.  To facilitate this, Harris County is offering a training seminar for Builders and Inspectors.  The training will include the following:

.    How to Register
.    How to Login
.    How to Notify Harris County of the Completion of an Inspection
.    Useful Forms

This process of notification is very similar to the TRCC website process except, builders may have to login to notify Harris County as well as the inspector, and the residential structures are tied to the permit number obtained by the builder, not the builder's TRCC number.  All residential developments permitted on or after September 1, 2009 in unincorporated Harris County will require inspection notifications to Harris County.

There will be two options for training.  One option will be to download the PowerPoint presentation off of our website at https://www.eng.hctx.net/permits/bldgcodes/Default.aspx and the second will be to physically attend the training seminar on September 22nd or September 23rd.

The seminar will be held at the Harris County Flood Control building located at 9900 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX  77092 in Suite 100.  Please select from the two dates listed above, and contact Debbie Bledsoe at delta.classroom@hcpid.org to confirm your attendance.  There is no requirement to attend the training session.

We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation.
