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
N/A; the county’s published application does not state a fixed review timeline.
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.

Project questions
Deaf Smith County Clerk / County OSSF 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 Deaf Smith County Clerk/OSSF: 806-363-7077; OSSF contact Doug Patrick: 817-253-8777; County Judge: 806-363-7000 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.
N/A; the county’s published application does not state a fixed review timeline.
Submit the completed application and required soil/site evaluation and planning materials to the Deaf Smith County Clerk/OSSF office. The application authorizes a Deaf Smith County official to enter the property for site evaluation and OSSF investigation. Do not begin construction before Authorization to Construct; contact 806-363-7077 or Doug Patrick at 817-253-8777 for inspection scheduling.
The published county material is specific to OSSF permitting and does not identify a general county ICC building-code edition. The OSSF application uses TCEQ-0235 technical information and requires soil/site evaluation and planning materials consistent with Texas OSSF rules. No county cosmetic-work exemption list was published. OSSF applicants must submit the county application, legal-description verification, site evaluation, and applicable planning materials; any state-law exemptions must be confirmed with the county OSSF office.
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.
