Houston, TX clears paths for sustainable development with GSI Expedited Permitting Pilot Program

Houston, TX GSI Expedited Permitting Pilot Program

In Progress

The program reduces barriers to green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) projects like permeable pavement and green roofs. City officials will work with at least 10 qualifying projects to refine its permitting process through August 2022. Participants demonstrate alignment with the Resilient Houston matrix before prioritized electronic reviews. The finalized permitting process and an existing GSI tax abatement program move Houston toward its goal of 100 GSI projects by 2025.
