Unincorporated Callahan County

No public evidence was found of a countywide general building permit requirement for ordinary construction in unincorporated Callahan County. Verified county controls are narrower. Texas Flood shows county floodplain administration for development in mapped flood hazard areas. The county also requires a road damage and repair agreement on request through the County Judge / Commissioners office, and the county has published RV park infrastructure rules and permit fees for RV park regulation.

• Exempt Temporary hunting camps are excluded from the county's definition of an RV park.

Note: No public exempt-work list was found for a general county building permit program because no clearly documented public countywide general building-permit program was identified.

Building code

No public countywide building code adoption or county building-code enforcement page was found for unincorporated Callahan County. Verified county programs are floodplain administration, county road damage and repair agreements, and RV park regulation.

1. 01
   Confirm the parcel is in unincorporated Callahan County and not inside Baird, Clyde, Cross Plains, or Putnam city limits. Also verify whether the tract is inside an ETJ if a city-specific development layer may apply.
2. 02
   Determine whether the project actually triggers one of the county programs that is publicly documented. No public county source establishing a general county building permit requirement for ordinary vertical construction was located.
3. 03
   If the work affects a county road, county road right-of-way, or heavy-haul activity, contact the County Judge / Commissioners Court regarding the county's road damage and repair agreement process.
4. 04
   If the project is in a mapped flood hazard area, contact the county floodplain administrator before development. Texas Flood lists Callahan County's Emergency Manager, Angela Campbell, as floodplain contact.
5. 05
   If the project is an RV park or similar temporary dwelling park, review the county RV park rules and obtain the required county approvals under that program. The county's published RV rules also state that RV parks are subject to county subdivision regulations, and parks inside a city's ETJ may also be subject to city regulations.
6. 06
   For septic or OSSF questions, verify the current permitting authority directly with TCEQ or county staff before proceeding. No clear county OSSF application page was located in the reviewed county sources.
