About each permit
On-Site Sewage Facility (Septic) Permit
A business on premises in the unincorporated area of El Paso County that is not connected to public sewer needs an OSSF construction permit and, after the final inspection, a license to operate from County Public Works (14698 Van Ln, (915) 273-3105). The county process sheet (rev. 2-04-26) and the application form print one set of permit fees, while the County's FY2027 adopted Schedule of Rates and Fees lists different amounts under Public Works 'Fee Items' that do not name the OSSF program, so this record states no amount. Fees are paid at any County Clerk office and are not refundable. Review takes 30 days for a residential or commercial permit and 45 days for a disposal plan, and the installer must be TCEQ-licensed. Inside a municipality on public sewer there is no county septic trigger.
