About each permit

On-Site Sewage Facility (Septic) Permit — Commercial

The county's On-Site Sewage Facility page states that Victoria County is an authorized agent of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality under Health and Safety Code Chapter 366, with permits reviewed and inspected by the Public Health Department's Environmental Services Division, and directs applicants to its OSSF Application Packet. That packet (revised 11/29/2022, the version linked from the page) prints the Victoria County fees as $285 residential, $385 commercial and $100 reinspection, and states that an Authorization to Construct is valid for one year from the date it is issued; after that a new application and permit fee are needed. The page says applications are approved or denied within 30 days, and a TCEQ-licensed site evaluator must assess the soil first. A business building on a site without public sewer is the case this applies to.

Floodplain Development Permit

The county's Floodplain page states that Victoria County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and regulates floodplain development under its Floodplain Ordinance (545-2251), and that its Floodplain Development Permit form is to be completed for any residential, commercial or OSSF development determined to be within a floodplain. The county's Development & Permit Guidelines (revised January 22, 2025) state that the county issues floodplain development permits for properties in the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain). The permit form states that the permit expires 180 days from the day it is issued. This applies only to development on a site inside a mapped flood hazard area.
