Floodplain Work May Need a County Permit

Floodplain paperwork in Guadalupe County can come into play for more than a house. Permit rules can cover grading, paving, digging, drilling, and storing equipment or materials in the regulatory floodplain.

River and creek lots are the obvious places to look, but a small site change can still count as development in a mapped flood area. Pull the Environmental Health forms early if you plan to haul in fill, pour a slab, or reshape ground. A permit question answered early is cheaper than undoing work later.
