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 permit application and planning materials within 30 days. Lamb County publishes no floodplain-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.
Application documents
Before submission, call Lamb County Courthouse: 806-385-4222; County Judge: 806-485-0045; TCEQ Region 2: 806-796-7092 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.

Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.

For county floodplain review, submit the county's published permit form and contact the Lamb County Judge/Courthouse at 806-485-0045 or 806-385-4222 before development in unincorporated areas. For an OSSF, submit the state application, site evaluation, design, and planning materials to TCEQ Region 2 at 5012 50th Street, Suite 100, Lubbock, TX 79414-3426, telephone 806-796-7092; do not begin construction before written authorization or cover the installation before inspection and approval to operate.

Lamb County participates in the NFIP and the statewide floodplain-administrator directory assigns county floodplain administration to the County Judge; the county publishes a direct permits PDF. The current Lamb and Lynn Counties mitigation plan says county floodplain regulations apply in unincorporated Lamb County, while Earth, Littlefield, Olton, and Springlake administer their own floodplain ordinances. OSSF permitting in unincorporated Lamb County is administered by TCEQ Region 2 under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366 and 30 TAC Chapter 285. No general county structural-building department, adopted county ICC code edition, or certificate-of-occupancy program was found. No county cosmetic-building-work exemption list is published. Floodplain development should be cleared with the County Judge before work begins. Under minimum state OSSF rules, a permit exception is limited to a system satisfying every condition of the 10-acre rule, a qualifying unaltered and non-failing grandfathered system, or defined emergency repairs reported in writing within 72 hours. Incorporated municipalities may impose separate building and floodplain requirements.
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.
