Thanks for all the replies. Have my approval from the HOA pending, so hoepfully that one goes through ok. I would prefer to build according to the code, which I understand is the International Residential Code from 2003 (the current one for the state of Texas). Is there any way to see this document with out spending the big $$$ to buy a copy? I assume my permit application will have to describe how it meets the code or do I just submitt a drawing of the structure and then during an inspection they will make sure it meets the code?

Hi, Looking at putting a cover over a patio/deck. Just wondering if any permits/inspections are required in Harris County to do this? Can't find anything on the web and everytime I try to ring I get put through to someone who isn't there and doesn't return the call. Anybody have any insight? Cheers
