Unincorporated Cochran County

No verified countywide general building permit requirement was found for ordinary building construction in unincorporated Cochran County. Verified narrower controls are OSSF permitting through TCEQ Region 2 and county floodplain administration.

Note: No public exempt-work list found. Confirm directly with Cochran County.

1. 01
   Do not assume a countywide general building permit is required in unincorporated Cochran County.
2. 02
   For on-site sewage facilities, use the public TCEQ OARS county search for Cochran County. Septic permitting is routed to TCEQ Region 2 in Lubbock rather than a local county authorized agent.
3. 03
   Contact TCEQ Region 2 for the applicable OSSF application, technical requirements, fees, and inspections if the parcel will use a septic system.
4. 04
   For floodplain-sensitive development, verify requirements directly with Cochran County before work. Texas Flood lists Cochran County with the County Judge as floodplain administrator.
5. 05
   If a project is near a city limit, verify whether the parcel is actually inside Morton or Whiteface before relying on county-only rules.
6. 06
   Because no public county general building-permit workflow was found, confirm any project-specific county requirements directly with the county before construction.
