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
No fixed OSSF review timeline is published. The floodplain permit is valid for one year from issuance; the county’s subdivision regulations and application materials govern separate plat review timelines.
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 254-213-6601 (County OSSF representative/development office); 254-248-4845 (Cody Wallace, technical advice); 254-865-5911 ext. 301 (county permit records) if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
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.

Submit the current Coryell County septic application with the applicable fee, site evaluation/design, property and 911 information, and required affidavit or maintenance documentation. Contact the county OSSF representative at 254-213-6601 or Cody Wallace at 254-248-4845 for technical advice and inspections. Floodplain applicants submit the development permit application, plans/specifications, and any required federal, state, or local permits. A floodplain permit is valid for one year and must be renewed if work is not completed.
Coryell County publishes no general county ICC building-code edition or ordinary building-permit portal. County permitting covers subdivisions, floodplain development, fence-row clearing, mailboxes, culverts/driveways, and utility excavation. The OSSF Order adopts 30 TAC Chapters 30 and 285 and Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366, and imposes the stricter local rule that every OSSF construction, alteration, extension, or repair must be permitted and inspected regardless of tract size. Floodplain development is reviewed through the county Development Permit Application and Flood Damage Prevention rules. An OSSF permit is required for all systems unless the system is grandfathered, meaning installed before September 1, 1989. Coryell County’s order does not provide a 10-acre exemption from its permit-and-inspection requirement. No general cosmetic-work exemption list was published; floodplain exemptions are determined by the Floodplain Administrator from the submitted property and flood-hazard information.
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.
