How long might review take?

How are inspections scheduled?
Contact the Concho County Judge’s Office at 325-732-4321 for the local OSSF application, permit, inspection, and floodplain process. The county order requires inspection for OSSF construction, alteration, extension, and repair; complete planning materials must be submitted to the county permitting authority. No online scheduling portal or separate inspection phone was published.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Concho County publishes no general unincorporated building-permit portal or county ICC building-code edition. Its TCEQ-approved OSSF order requires an application, permit, and inspection for construction, alteration, extension, or repair of every residential or commercial OSSF regardless of tract size, and requires maintenance for covered aerobic systems by a TCEQ-registered maintenance company unless an approved owner exception applies. The County Judge is the listed county floodplain contact; municipal codes apply inside incorporated cities. Concho County’s authorized-agent order specifically removes the usual tract-size exemption by requiring an application, permit, and inspection for every residential or commercial OSSF regardless of acreage. No county cosmetic-work exemption list was published. Any state emergency-repair or grandfathered-system exception must be checked against the stricter county order before relying on it.
