Texas AHJ Lookup
Find your Authority Having Jurisdiction — the entity actually enforcing fire code on your building.
What this is
A searchable database of Texas Authorities Having Jurisdiction — covering 91+ Texas cities and counties, with the code editions each has adopted, known local amendments, and contact information for the fire marshal's office.
This is the same database that powers our BDA Division's Building Signal Check tool. Use it for any fire-protection AHJ question, not just ERCES.
How it works

- Your AHJ (local fire marshal, county, or state)

- How to contact the fire marshal's office
