An expired SWQ permit is a liability with a deadline.
Cities and counties (City of Houston, Harris County, and other MS4s) issue Stormwater Quality permits on commercial sites. If yours is expired or non-compliant, you face municipal enforcement — and TCEQ will not issue a pollution-control certificate for the site. We bring permits current as a standalone service and as the first step of every exemption engagement.
A compliant SWQ permit is the gateway to a permanent §11.31 property-tax exemption — most compliance clients continue straight into one.
Permit status audit
We verify your SWQ permit standing with the issuing authority and identify exactly what is out of date.
Renewal & paperwork
Applications, SWQMP updates, and inspection scheduling — handled end to end.
Remediation coordination
Where site work is required, we scope it, quote it, and manage it to sign-off.
Unlocks your exemption
A compliant permit clears the TCEQ gate — most SWQ clients continue straight into a §11.31 exemption engagement.
Common questions
How do I know if my permit is expired?
Send us the site address — we check the issuing authority records and tell you exactly where you stand, no charge.
What happens if I ignore it?
Municipal enforcement escalates (notices, fines), and the site is ineligible for a TCEQ pollution-control certificate until the permit is current.

You pay only when your exemption is approved.
