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
A complete OSSF application and planning materials must be approved or denied within 30 days under the incorporated state rule. For a subdivision plat revision, one copy and supporting documents must reach the plat reviewer at least 30 days before the requested Commissioners Court meeting, and the court has 30 days to act after the application is certified complete. No separate floodplain review target is 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 Environmental Health (OSSF, floodplain, and subdivision review): 325-658-1038 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.

Submit the completed county OSSF application with the site evaluation, design/planning materials, installer information, and current fee to Environmental Health. Obtain authorization before installation, then call 325-658-1038 to arrange the required inspection before covering or operating the system; a permit to operate is granted only after a successful inspection showing compliance. Contact Senior Environmental Specialist and floodplain administrator Pam Weishuhn at the same office before new development or a substantial improvement in a mapped floodplain.
Tom Green County Environmental Health issues and inspects OSSF permits, reviews subdivisions for septic and floodplain suitability, and regulates new development and substantial improvements in mapped floodplains under its FEMA flood-damage-prevention ordinance and 44 CFR. The county is TCEQ's authorized OSSF agent and incorporates 30 TAC Chapters 30 and 285, including future amendments, through its local order. It publishes no adopted general countywide IRC, IBC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or fire-code edition for ordinary construction outside these programs. Incorporated San Angelo and other municipalities may impose separate building and zoning requirements. Tom Green County expressly does not recognize the state 10-acre OSSF permit exclusion: every OSSF in the county's jurisdiction must be permitted and inspected by the authorized agent. The county publishes no general building-permit exemption list for ordinary cosmetic or structural work outside regulated floodplains, subdivision activity, and septic work. Development outside a mapped regulated floodplain does not require the county floodplain permit, but separate OSSF or subdivision approval may still apply.
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.
