Unincorporated Limestone County

No public evidence of a countywide general building permit for unincorporated construction was found. Verified county permit controls are narrower: floodplain development permits for property in the floodplain, septic permitting, 911/new-address and culvert applications, subdivision regulation compliance, and mass-gathering permits.

Note: No public exempt-work list was found for a countywide general building permit program. The reviewed county sources instead document narrower county controls such as floodplain, septic, addressing or culverts, subdivision, and mass gatherings.

Owner-builder

For residential work in unincorporated Texas areas, applicants should separately evaluate whether Texas HB 2833 private-inspection rules may apply to the project.

Contractor requirements

State trade licensing applies where Texas law requires it.

1. 01
   Determine whether the project is actually under county jurisdiction.
2. 02
   If the property is in the floodplain, download the floodplain development permit application and submit it to the Limestone County Floodplain Administrator.
3. 03
   If septic service is needed, use the county's published septic permits and instructions packet.
4. 04
   If a new rural address or culvert is needed, use the county's 911 or new-address or culvert form.
5. 05
   If a subdivision or mass gathering is involved, use the county's subdivision regulations or mass-gathering permit process.
