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
TCEQ must approve or deny a complete OSSF application and planning materials within 30 days. An approved MHRC plan must be recorded within 30 days after approval, but the county does not publish a typical initial subdivision, MHRC, or floodplain review duration.
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.

TCEQ must approve or deny a complete OSSF application and planning materials within 30 days. An approved MHRC plan must be recorded within 30 days after approval, but the county does not publish a typical initial subdivision, MHRC, or floodplain review duration.
Submit subdivision or MHRC applications, supporting plans, and cashier's-check or money-order fees to the Irion County Clerk at the courthouse for review by the County Judge. MHRC construction and occupancy may not begin before plan approval; the county may inspect infrastructure during or after construction and issues the Certificate of Compliance only after conformance, which is required before utility service. Coordinate floodplain review with the County Judge's office and listed county Floodplain Administrator. For an OSSF under state jurisdiction, submit the TCEQ application and planning package to Region 8 and call 325-655-9479 to arrange required construction inspection before covering or operating the system.
Irion County adopted new Subdivision and Manufactured Home Rental Community Regulations on June 24, 2025 for unincorporated territory. They regulate plats, MHRC infrastructure, roads, drainage, stormwater and floodplain identification, water and sewer service, septic/OSSF planning, and utility connections. The current Texas Floodplain Administrator directory lists Bradley Fletcher for Irion County. The county publishes no general ordinary-building permit program, zoning ordinance, or adopted countywide ICC structural-code edition. In areas without a locally authorized OSSF agent, TCEQ Region 8 administers Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366 and 30 TAC Chapter 285. No county cosmetic-work exemption list or general building permit is published. The 2025 regulations apply to nonexempt land divisions and manufactured-home rental communities in unincorporated Irion County; an owner claiming a statutory plat exemption should obtain the county's determination before selling lots or requesting utility service. State OSSF exceptions are limited to qualifying 10-acre single-family systems meeting every condition, qualifying grandfathered systems, and defined emergency repairs reported in writing within 72 hours. City of Mertzon requirements apply inside municipal jurisdiction.
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.
