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
No county-specific review time was published. Under state OSSF rules incorporated by the county, the permitting authority must approve or deny a complete permit application and planning materials within 30 days. The county floodplain permit states that it is valid for one year from the application date.
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 Floodplain/OSSF Administrator Marsha Hardy: 325-372-8570 or 325-372-5600 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.

Contact Marsha Hardy at 325-372-8570 or 325-372-5600 to submit the OSSF application and arrange the mandatory county inspection; do not construct, alter, extend, repair, cover, or operate an OSSF before county authorization and approval. Submit floodplain development plans to the same office before work in a regulated flood area; elevation certification may be required.

San Saba County administers floodplain development under its Flood Damage Prevention ordinance and issues a one-year development permit for proposed residential or nonresidential construction, substantial improvement, houses, manufactured homes, and other development in its jurisdiction. The county's 2025 OSSF Order incorporates Texas Health and Safety Code Chapters 366 and 367, Texas Water Code Chapters 7, 26, and 37, and 30 TAC Chapters 30, 70, and 285, including future amendments, with a stricter countywide permit-and-inspection requirement. No 2026 countywide structural building, residential, or fire-code edition was published for ordinary unincorporated construction. No county minor-building or cosmetic-work exemption list was published. San Saba County's more-stringent OSSF rule expressly requires an application, permit, and inspection for construction, alteration, extension, or repair of every residential or commercial OSSF regardless of tract size, so the state 10-acre permit exception does not apply in the county program. Areas already regulated under another valid local order, ordinance, or resolution are outside this county OSSF order's 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.
