Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Llano County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
Llano County Development Services and 9-1-1 Addressing 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?
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 325-247-2039; fax 325-247-3785.
How long might review take?
Allow 7-10 business days for non-floodplain determinations; floodplain development, septic permits, and commercial projects may take longer. A floodplain development permit expires 180 days after issuance and may receive one additional 180-day extension for good cause if requested before expiration; no further extension is allowed.
How are inspections scheduled?
Apply through iWorQ and upload the site plan, scope, ownership and authorization documents, 9-1-1/address details, septic information, and any required elevation certificate, engineered plans, no-rise certificate, or floodproofing documents. Call 325-247-2039 to coordinate inspections. New or substantially improved development below BFE requires preliminary and final floodplain inspections; passing final inspection and submission of the final elevation certificate and owner confirmation are prerequisites to a Certificate of Compliance. OSSF construction must await authorization and every system is county-inspected before approval to operate.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Llano County reviews development in unincorporated areas under its Development Services orders, 2025 Subdivision Regulations, 2021 Flood Damage Prevention Order/NFIP standards, 9-1-1 addressing order, road-cut rules, and OSSF order. Any development in a special flood hazard area requires a floodplain development permit; floodplain construction must meet elevation, anchoring, flood-opening, no-rise, and engineering requirements. The county adopts 30 TAC Chapters 30 and 285 for OSSF and permits and inspects every on-site system regardless of tract size. No general countywide ICC structural building-code edition was found. All proposed structures or development projects enter the county development-review process, although the additional floodplain permit applies when development is in a special flood hazard area. Llano County expressly permits and inspects every OSSF regardless of tract size, so the state 10-acre permit exception does not apply. No cosmetic-work exemption list is published; the application identifies clearing, fill, grading, excavation, docks, retaining walls, fences, drainage work, roof replacement, demolition/rebuild, and other development for county review.
