Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Haskell County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
Haskell County Commissioners Court / Haskell County OSSF Inspector or Development Officer 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 Haskell County Judge/Commissioners Court: 940-864-2851; TCEQ OSSF general questions: 512-239-3799 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.
How long might review take?
A typical review timeline was not verified. Ask the agency for its current completeness and review estimate.
How are inspections scheduled?
Submit right-of-way permit applications to the Haskell County Commissioners Court with the owner or authorized representative identified and a plan or sketch of the proposed work. Notify the Court at least 48 hours before starting work; the county inspects during construction and afterward, and contractors must request inspection of line and grade before continuing after a bore. For subdivision OSSF work, obtain approval from the Haskell County OSSF Inspector/Development Officer or designated representative and confirm the application and inspection procedure through the County Judge's office.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Haskell County publishes subdivision regulations covering roads, drainage, building setbacks, water and wastewater infrastructure, manufactured-home/RV developments, and OSSF review. On-site sewage design and installation must comply with TCEQ rules, Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366, 30 TAC Chapter 285, and the Haskell County local order, with approval by the County OSSF Inspector or designated representative. The county also enforces detailed pipeline and utility standards within county road rights-of-way. No general countywide ICC building-code edition was published. No Haskell County-specific list of minor or cosmetic building-work exemptions was published. The county right-of-way permit is specifically required for installation, construction, rebuilding, relocation, enlargement, or modification of materials in a county-road right-of-way. State OSSF exceptions remain limited to qualifying 10-acre single-family systems, defined emergency repairs reported within 72 hours, and qualifying grandfathered systems; all applicable planning, construction, nuisance-prevention, and separation requirements still apply.
