Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
The county’s OSSF authorization publishes a one-year Authorization to Construct validity period but no fixed initial review timeline. Comanche County subdivision plat applications must be approved, rejected, or conditionally approved within 30 days after submission, subject to a possible agreed 30-day extension.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.
Application documents
Before submission, call 325-356-2466 (County Judge’s Office); 254-842-7179 (Mack Thedford, county OSSF inspector) if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.

Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.
Project questions
Comanche County Judge’s Office / Comanche County On-Site Sewage Facility Program is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.
No verified online portal was located in the reviewed public materials. Contact 325-356-2466 (County Judge’s Office); 254-842-7179 (Mack Thedford, county OSSF inspector) and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.
The county’s OSSF authorization publishes a one-year Authorization to Construct validity period but no fixed initial review timeline. Comanche County subdivision plat applications must be approved, rejected, or conditionally approved within 30 days after submission, subject to a possible agreed 30-day extension.
Submit the OSSF application, technical information, site evaluation, planning materials, and required fee to the Comanche County Judge’s Office. The owner or installer must contact county inspector Mack Thedford at 254-842-7179 at least five working days before completion to schedule the required facility inspection. The system must remain subject to the county’s inspection process, and the Authorization to Construct is valid for one year; if no final inspection occurs within that year, a new application and fee are required.
Comanche County publishes no general unincorporated building-permit portal or ICC code edition. Its subdivision regulations require Commissioners Court approval for subdivisions, OSSF suitability review, drainage and 100-year floodplain materials, and approved sewage systems for habitable structures. OSSF work is governed by Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366, 30 TAC Chapter 285, and Comanche County sanitation rules; septic tanks must be inspected before, during, and after construction by a qualified licensed or designated representative. The county subdivision regulations state that all Comanche County sewage-disposal regulations must be met with no exceptions and prohibit outdoor toilets or cesspools within subdivisions. No general cosmetic-work exemption list was published. State OSSF exceptions such as the qualifying 10-acre rule or emergency repairs may apply only when all state and county conditions are satisfied.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
