Typical review lane

N/A; subdivision plats are routed for County Judge review and Commissioners Court agenda approval. OSSF review timing is not published.

Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.

01

Confirm jurisdiction

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.

02

Assemble a complete package

Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.

03

Track the review record

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

Use the official form when a portal is not the only filing route.

Before submission, call Dallam County Judge: 806-244-2450 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.

Project questions

Frequently asked questions for Dallam County

Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?

Dallam County Commissioners Court / County Judge and County Inspector is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.

How should I begin an application?

No verified online portal was located in the reviewed public materials. Contact Dallam County Judge: 806-244-2450 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.

How long might review take?

N/A; subdivision plats are routed for County Judge review and Commissioners Court agenda approval. OSSF review timing is not published.

How are inspections scheduled?

Submit subdivision plats first to the Dallam County Judge for review and comments, then request placement on a Commissioners Court agenda. For septic systems outside municipal limits, use a TCEQ-licensed installer under Environmental Health Department supervision and obtain approval from the County Inspector. Contact the County Judge at 806-244-2450 for current submission and inspection routing.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

For subdivisions outside city limits, Dallam County’s revised 2025 regulations govern plats, roads, drainage, utilities, setbacks, floodplain/drainage studies, and septic placement. OSSF systems are permitted, inspected, and approved under TCEQ rules, with minimum standards in 30 TAC Chapter 285; no general county ICC building-code edition was published. Subdivision platting is subject to the exceptions in Texas Local Government Code §232.0015. The county regulations do not publish a general cosmetic-work exemption list. Individual structures outside city limits must use OSSF systems meeting state law; applicability of any state OSSF exemption must be confirmed with the county inspector/TCEQ.

What makes an application complete

A portal submission is only as strong as its supporting record.

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.
