10 STEPS TO CREATE A
STEERS ACCOUNT

A State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System (STEERS) account is required to access the ePermitting system that TCEQ uses to collect reports and permit applications. As of September 1st, 2018, TCEQ is requiring that all permit applications be submitted through STEERS. TCEQ may grant you a temporary exemption in some circumstances by submitting an Electronic Reporting Waiver.

Before starting, if you plan to be the signatory for a permit application, please ensure that you meet the signatory requirements laid out in Texas Administrative Code (TAC) section (§)305.44.
