I want to build a house on my lot in the unincorporated area of Hood County. What permits do I need?

You will not need a Hood County Building Permit. However, you will need to obtain a Septic permit from the Hood County Environmental Health Department, a Road Access Permit from the Hood County Road Operations Department and a Water Well Permit from the Upper Trinity Water Conservation District (if needed). 

If any portion your property is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, you may need a floodplain development permit from the Hood County Floodplain Administrator prior to any construction, or excavating.
