Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Floyd County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
This record is marked State Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.
How should I begin an application?
No verified online portal was located in the reviewed public materials. Contact TCEQ Region 2: 806-796-7092; Floyd County Judge: 806-983-4905 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.
How long might review take?
TCEQ rules require approval or denial of complete planning materials and the permit application within 30 days of receipt; denials must include a written explanation.
How are inspections scheduled?
Submit the TCEQ OSSF application and planning materials to the applicable permitting authority. TCEQ identifies Floyd County as part of Region 2 Lubbock and states that its regional office is the permitting authority where no local jurisdiction has been authorized. Contact Region 2 at 806-796-7092 to arrange submission and inspection procedures.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
No Floyd County building-code edition or general county building-permit office was identified on the official county website. OSSF permitting is governed by Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366 and 30 TAC Chapter 285; the county separately publishes subdivision rules. Municipal building requirements may apply inside incorporated places. Under TCEQ rules, a qualifying single-family OSSF on a tract of at least 10 acres may be exempt if all state conditions are met, including site evaluation, 100-foot property-line setbacks, on-site effluent disposal, no nuisance or groundwater pollution, and only one dwelling. Defined emergency repairs may proceed without a permit if reported in writing within 72 hours; grandfathered systems may qualify for an exemption. Confirm with TCEQ.
