Development Review
Committee (DRC)
What is the
Development Review Committee (DRC)?
The purpose of the DRC process is to
protect the health and safety of Tomball
citizens by providing code compliant
reviews of construction plans as well as
review of commercial, residential, and
business properties for compliance with
building codes, state laws, and city
ordinances. Prior to undertaking a
project, property owners and developers
are encouraged to schedule a DRC meeting
to obtain pertinent information relating
to their proposal, as the processes will
require further review before formal
approval.
The DRC consists
of representatives from the following
departments:
- Engineering &
Planning
- Building
- Public Works
- Fire Marshal’s
Office
- City Manager’s
Office
The DRC will be
ready to assist you with:
- Processing of
subdivisions, residential and
commercial projects
