Unincorporated Concho County

No general countywide building permit requirement found for ordinary building construction in unincorporated Concho County. County controls are limited to OSSF permits and inspections, subdivision regulation in the unincorporated area, and county right-of-way permits for pipeline, utility, or communication crossings.

Note: No public exempt-work list found. The county does not publish a clearly documented general building permit program for unincorporated Concho County. Verified county controls are OSSF, subdivision, and county right-of-way related rather than a blanket county building permit.
