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 fixed county floodplain, culvert, or inspection turnaround is published. Texas OSSF rules require approval or written denial of a complete septic application and planning materials within 30 days. No reliable local average was found.
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 Harley Moore, 911 Director/Floodplain Administrator: 940-549-7911; mobile 940-327-7479 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.

Contact Harley Moore for floodplain determinations and permitting before any construction in a mapped floodplain.
Young County publishes no countywide general structural-building permit or adopted IRC, IBC, residential electrical, plumbing, or mechanical code for unincorporated property. The county enforces its Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance amended November 24, 2008, OSSF permitting under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 366 and 30 TAC Chapter 285, culvert approval, 911 addressing, and Subdivision Rules and Regulations. The subdivision rules require a Young County flood permit for construction in a mapped floodplain, consistency with the county flood rules, and setbacks of 50 feet from state or federal road rights-of-way and 25 feet from other roads unless an applicable municipality's ETJ setback controls. No general county building permit is published for ordinary structural, alteration, or cosmetic work in unincorporated Young County, but this does not exempt floodplain development, septic work, subdivision platting, culverts, 911 addressing, deed restrictions, or municipal/ETJ requirements. A state OSSF permit exemption may apply to a qualifying single-family residence on an undivided tract of at least 10 acres only when all site-evaluation, 100-foot separation, ownership, disposal, and nuisance conditions are met and the county confirms eligibility. Listed emergency septic repairs must be reported in writing within 72 hours after work begins.
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.
