For construction inside New Braunfels city limits, start with the city’s Building Safety division; for a project in unincorporated Comal County, check the county permits required for that project before construction.
Property owners need to check their project’s location and scope because city building inspections and county septic, floodplain, right-of-way and fire-code permits follow different processes. The county says its permits do not replace requirements imposed by property owners associations, municipalities, utilities or other governments. Its permits page lists permits that may be required in unincorporated areas, rather than one permit that applies to every home project.
