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 complete OSSF planning materials and the permit application within 30 days of receipt and provide a written explanation for a denial. No county driveway, floodplain, or general development review time was published.
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 Reagan County Courthouse: 325-884-4100; County Judge/Floodplain: 325-884-2665; TCEQ Region 8 San Angelo: 325-655-9479; TCEQ OSSF Program: 512-239-3799 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
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.
Project questions
Reagan County Commissioners Court and County Judge; Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Region 8 OSSF Program is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact Reagan County Courthouse: 325-884-4100; County Judge/Floodplain: 325-884-2665; TCEQ Region 8 San Angelo: 325-655-9479; TCEQ OSSF Program: 512-239-3799.
TCEQ must approve or deny complete OSSF planning materials and the permit application within 30 days of receipt and provide a written explanation for a denial. No county driveway, floodplain, or general development review time was published.
Submit the original county driveway/access application to the Reagan County Clerk; the precinct commissioner reviews it, and a denial may be appealed to the full Commissioners Court. For OSSF work in TCEQ jurisdiction, submit the February 2026 TCEQ-0235 application, legal-description verification, soil/site evaluation, and required planning materials to Region 8 and obtain Authorization to Construct before work begins. Coordinate the required installation inspection directly with Region 8 at 325-655-9479 and do not cover the system before approval.
Reagan County publishes a driveway/access permit for residential, nonresidential, and commercial access to county roads. Residential dimensions are set by the precinct commissioner; nonresidential access must match the adjoining roadway material, with published base, asphalt, width, and length standards. FEMA's community record identifies the County Judge as the county floodplain administrator, but the county website does not publish a current floodplain order, application, or general structural building-code edition. Reagan County is absent from TCEQ's current authorized-agent report, so the TCEQ Region 8 office administers OSSFs under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366 and 30 TAC Chapter 285 where no municipal authority applies. No county list of minor-structure or cosmetic-work exemptions was published. Under state OSSF rules, a system may qualify for the 10-acre exemption only when it serves the sole single-family dwelling on a tract of at least 10 acres, has a licensed site evaluation, keeps every component at least 100 feet from property lines, disposes of effluent on-site, and causes no nuisance or groundwater pollution. Qualifying grandfathered systems and specified emergency repairs may also avoid a new permit; emergency repairs must be reported in writing within 72 hours.
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.
