An Access (Driveway) Permit is required before the construction or modification of a driveway that connects to a public county road. For properties that do not have an address (or a new address is being requested), this permit application is submitted along with the Address Request Form.
An Access Permit is no longer required for driveways that front a private roadway as there will no longer be an inspection of the construction of the driveway. However, an address request form will still be required to obtain an address.
If access is needed to a State Highway you must contact TxDOT at 830-249-2262.
When all documents are received along with the permit fee, an appointment will be scheduled to meet with the Access Coordinator. If the property owner cannot meet with the Access Coordinator a designated agent may be assigned by the owner.
Please note: The designated agent will have the authority to obtain all permits and make all decisions.
An address must be assigned to the property and an access permit issued before applying for Development, Septic, and/or Well Permits.
