The City of Houston Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) Shapefile provides a geographic representation of areas outside incorporated city limits where local governments, particularly the City of Houston, exercise limited regulatory authority. Extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is a designated buffer zone extending beyond a city's boundaries, allowing municipalities to manage growth, enforce certain regulations, and influence development without full annexation.Houston’s ETJ extends up to 5 miles from its city limits, covering a significant portion of Harris County and overlapping with ETJs of smaller municipalities. This jurisdiction is essential for urban planning, infrastructure development, and regional coordination, as it helps cities guide land use, manage utilities, and prepare for future expansion while preventing conflicting regulations between neighboring jurisdictions.
