City of Conroe Building Inspections

Swimming pool permit fees are calculated based on project valuation per the city's own fee schedule. Effective December 8, 2025, Conroe switched its permitting system to the OpenGov Applicant Portal for all permit applications, inspection scheduling and payments, replacing its prior system, with an updated fee schedule approved by City Council effective November 13, 2025.
