Building in Crosby

What do people build in Crosby?

Crosby is unincorporated east Harris County, between Lake Houston, the San Jacinto River and Cedar Bayou. Lots here run larger than in town, from half-acre homesites to pasture off FM 2100, which suits detached shops, RV and boat storage and equipment barns. With no city building department, permits go through Harris County.

Larger lots and the lake nearby mean shops, boat and RV storage, and barns for horses and equipment on the acreage north and east of town.

Permits & local considerations

What should I know before building in Crosby?

Rules change and depend on your exact parcel, so treat this as a starting point. Confirm requirements with the office that covers your address. We check this for you during the free site visit.

  • Check the floodplain first

    Parts of Crosby sit near the San Jacinto River, Lake Houston and Cedar Bayou. Look up your parcel on the Harris County Flood Education Mapping Tool (opens in a new tab) before you design. Floodplain status can change slab height, fill limits and the permit path.

  • Harris County permits

    Crosby has no city government, so development permits go through the Harris County Office of the County Engineer. We confirm what your parcel needs during the site visit.

  • Deed restrictions in newer subdivisions

    Newer subdivisions often limit accessory-building size, height and exterior materials. Older tracts and acreage are usually less restricted. Pull your restrictions before you settle on a size.
