The county sends you to the County Engineer's Road and Bridge Division at (512) 943-3330, which issues a Certificate of Compliance, a floodplain check, not a building approval. The Fire Marshal, floodplain, septic and driveway permits are still county approvals, and inside Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Hutto, Taylor or Liberty Hill the city permits the building.
Inside Georgetown
Commercial building permit, 30 business day review
Georgetown requires a Commercial Building Permit application through My Government Online for new ground-up commercial construction, remodels, tenant finish-outs, additions and facade changes, with bookmarked PDF plans, the TDLR registration, a ComCheck and proof of transportation impact fees, and it will not accept the application until Planning has issued first-round site plan comments.
What the county's page says
The city states a 30 business day turnaround with no expedited option; the first resubmittal takes 25 business days.

Unincorporated Williamson County
No county building permit, building code or certificate of occupancy
Williamson County's own pages answer the building permit question by pointing to the County Engineer's Road and Bridge Division, which issues a Certificate of Compliance that verifies whether the property is in a floodplain, and say nothing else is needed from that office unless a driveway is being built.
What the county's page says
The county states it has no zoning regulations, has no authority to issue a Certificate of Occupancy, has not adopted the Local Government Code 233 residential building code standards, does not require new residential construction to conform to any building code, and issues no building permits and reviews almost no site plans, leaving only the health and safety matters that the Williamson County and Cities Health District handles.

Does Williamson County require a building permit for a metal building outside its cities?
The county's own frequently asked questions answer with a redirect to the County Engineer's Road and Bridge Division, and what that office issues is a Certificate of Compliance, a check on whether the property sits in a floodplain. The same pages state the county has no zoning regulations, issues no building permits, reviews almost no site plans and has no authority to issue a Certificate of Occupancy.
That is an absence of one permit, not an absence of rules. No page read here lists a building code for a commercial or accessory structure, a permit fee or a review timeline, and the same FAQ says cities within their extraterritorial jurisdiction, TCEQ and the health district may require permits.
The nearest counties answer differently. Travis County requires a Development Permit and Burnet County a two-class building permit; a city plan review set beside them is on metal building permits in Austin and Travis County.

What does Williamson County still review before a commercial metal building goes up?
Three desks, and the Fire Marshal is the first. Unincorporated Williamson County has used the 2018 International Fire Code and its own fire code since November 2020, reaching new construction or substantial improvement of public buildings, commercial establishments and multi-family dwellings of four or more units, with a permit before construction starts. That review is a non-structural architectural plan review, so no county office named on those pages reads the structural drawings for a commercial metal building.
The floodplain permit is second, and its dates bite on a steel job: the sealed FEMA elevation certificate is due after the slab and again at completion, and the permit expires one year from issue. Septic is third, run by the County Engineer's Office under 30 TAC Chapter 285, which treats everything but a single-family residence as commercial and grants no Authorization to Construct until a design review that may take 30 days.
The short county hand is statute. Local Government Code 233.061 lets a county over 250,000 in population, or one next to one, adopt a fire code; 233.062 limits it to three building types; 233.063 puts a county building permit behind it. Chapter 233 read in full gives a county no general building permit authority over a commercial building.
SourcesThe statute was read in full and grants no such authority.Texas Legislature Online, Local Government Code Chapter 233, county regulation of housing and other structures, read 2026-09-20; Williamson County Fire Marshal, construction permits, and the Williamson County Fire Code, second edition, read 2026-09-20; Williamson County, floodplain management, and the Flood Damage Prevention Order, read 2026-09-20; Williamson County, on-site sewage facilities, and the OSSF program fee sheet, read 2026-09-20.
Which cities in Williamson County permit the building instead of the county?
Seven of them, and a city desk is the one that reads structural drawings here. Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Hutto, Taylor and Liberty Hill each run their own permit, on International codes from the 2018 editions in Taylor to the 2024 editions in Round Rock and Hutto. Published review times run from 11 working days in Cedar Park to 30 business days in Georgetown.
The small building is where they split. Round Rock permits a shed under 200 square feet, Cedar Park permits every commercial accessory building, and Hutto draws its line at storage buildings over 200 square feet, so that threshold comes first if a shop or workshop is the building. Outside the city limits, Local Government Code 212.049 says the development plat subchapter does not authorize a municipality to require building permits or enforce its building code in its extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Does the Edwards Aquifer contributing zone reach a lot in Williamson County?
TCEQ names Williamson County in the program, and its official maps decide the parcel. Williamson, Travis and Hays are handled by the Austin Regional Office at (512) 339-2929. The definition written for this county is a watershed, not a parcel list: the contributing zone is all areas except the Lampasas River watershed above the Stillhouse Hollow dam. A site partly on that zone and partly on the recharge zone counts as entirely recharge zone and files a Water Pollution Abatement Plan.
Nothing here stands in for the map. TCEQ says its viewer is informational and not suitable for legal, engineering or surveying purposes, and no TCEQ page read describes a written zone determination for a parcel, so look, then call that office. Which plan, what triggers it and the clock are on the Edwards Aquifer contributing zone in Travis and Williamson. The zone reaches septic too: this county requires a design over the recharge zone from a Texas registered sanitarian or professional engineer.

Houston Black clay or Eckrant limestone: what does the ground under Williamson County do to a slab?
Interstate 35 runs close to the dividing line, and the 1983 Soil Survey of Williamson County draws it by rock: limestone and dolomite west, chalk and marl through the center, clayey mudstone and chalky marl east.
East of it the problem is movement. The survey puts the Branyon-Houston Black-Burleson unit at about 27 percent of the county and says buildings and streets buckle and crack if not properly constructed. Houston Black dry-season cracks run from 0.4 inch to four inches wide and reach 20 inches deep, and a metal building lands its loads at fixed anchor bolt locations, which is where that movement shows up.
West of the highway the problem flips to excavation. The same survey says the limestone substratum under the Eckrant and Denton units gives a good base for foundations and streets but is hard to excavate. Occupations Code 1001.056(c) pulls the small-building engineering exemption for a residential slab on expansive soil unless the work meets the International Residential Code as applied in the jurisdiction, and no county desk here settles that question for a shop. The design side is on the concrete slab and foundation for a metal building.
SourceTexas Legislature Online, Occupations Code Chapter 1001, engineers, read 2026-09-20.
What do metal building contractors in Williamson County line up whether or not the county permits it?
Three state items, and none of them depends on the county. TDLR first: a project under $50,000 in total estimated cost is not submitted for registration or plan review, yet the Texas Accessibility Standards still apply, and a project of $50,000 or more submits a full set of construction documents under Administrative Rule 68.50. Stormwater second: five or more disturbed acres, or a project in a larger common plan that will disturb that much, is a large construction activity under TCEQ permit TXR150000; one to under five acres is a small construction activity; under one acre outside a larger plan is not regulated.
The energy code is third, and it is where the missing county desk shows. The State Energy Conservation Office says the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code took effect November 1, 2016 for commercial, industrial and residential buildings taller than three stories. Neither Health and Safety Code 388.003 nor any of its pages read states a separate rule where no city enforces; the statute names municipalities as the enforcing bodies, so who checks it outside a city is a question for the design professional. The full sequence is on building a metal building in the Austin area.

Who permits the driveway, TxDOT or Williamson County?
Whoever owns the road. A driveway built or modified onto a county-maintained road needs a Driveway Permit from the County Engineer's Road and Bridge Division. The Driveway Policy adopted December 7, 2021 wants a site plan with a commercial, industrial or multifamily application. Neither that page nor the 32-page policy states a dollar fee; fees are invoiced after review.
A driveway on a state highway belongs to TxDOT. The owner submits Form 1058 to the district office, and nothing touches the right of way until the district executes that permit and takes its 24 hours of notice. The Austin District covers all six counties here, with area engineer offices for Georgetown and Williamson County. One sequencing trap: the Driveway Policy requires a Floodplain Development Permit where the driveway sits in a regulated floodplain, so an independent local metal building contractor who works Williamson County wants the road answer before the pad is staked.

| Certificate of Compliance, the county floodplain check | A Certificate of Compliance is required for all structures or other developments outside a floodplain in the unincorporated county; it verifies that no 100-year floodplain exists at the proposed development, is applied for online at MyGovernmentOnline, and carries a $25 non-refundable fee, with construction authorized only after county approval. A property over two acres includes a drawing of where the construction goes. Neither the floodplain page nor the form limits the certificate to homes: the form is titled Construction/Development and draws no residential or commercial line. A recorded plat may already carry a de facto certificate, a Floodplain Development Permit takes its place where a regulated floodplain is within or adjacent to the development, and when a property's footprint changes the certificate has to be in hand before a septic application can be processed. | Williamson County Engineer's Office, Engineering Division, (512) 943-3330 | Williamson County, floodplain management, and the Certificate of Compliance form, read 2026-09-20 |
| County fire code permit for a commercial building | Unincorporated Williamson County has used the 2018 International Fire Code, local amendments and the Williamson County Fire Code since November 2020, under the authority of Local Government Code 233.061. The fire code applies to all new construction or substantial improvement of public buildings, commercial establishments and multi-family dwellings of four or more units, and requires a permit before construction starts; the Fire Marshal is the authority having jurisdiction in the unincorporated county and reviews plans for commercial construction, fire alarms and fire protection systems through a non-structural architectural plan review, a fire protection plan review, permitting and inspections. The fee schedule sets commercial fire code plan review for a new building at $125 per 1,000 square feet of structure, rounded up, $75 per 1,000 square feet for a shell or finish-out, $150 for a civil or site plan fire lane review and $100 for the Certificate of Compliance fire final inspection, and charges double for work without a permit. A building may not be occupied until the Fire Marshal issues a conditional or partial Certificate of Compliance. The pages state no plan review turnaround in days; permits are valid 180 days. The Fire Marshal has no jurisdiction inside incorporated cities. | Williamson County Fire Marshal's Office, 3189 SE Inner Loop, Georgetown, (512) 943-3831 | Williamson County Fire Marshal, construction permits, and the Williamson County Fire Code, second edition, read 2026-09-20 |
| Floodplain development permit | Where a property is within or adjacent to a 100-year floodplain, structures have to be elevated at least one foot above base flood elevation and a Floodplain Development Permit has to be issued by the County Engineer's Office before construction; the Flood Damage Prevention Order appoints the County Engineer as Floodplain Administrator, and cities have floodplain jurisdiction inside their own boundaries. The application carries a $75 fee that does not itself authorize construction, requires an original signed and sealed FEMA elevation certificate after the slab and again at completion, and the permit expires one year from issue. A new or substantially improved commercial, industrial or other non-residential structure in the special flood hazard area has to have its lowest floor at least one foot above base flood level or be floodproofed with an engineer's or architect's certification. Floodway development is prohibited except with extensive engineering analysis, and a violation is a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500 per day. | Williamson County Engineer's Office, Floodplain Administrator, (512) 943-3330 | Williamson County, floodplain management, and the Flood Damage Prevention Order, read 2026-09-20 |
| On-site sewage facility (septic) permit | The County Engineer's Office administers the septic program under TCEQ authorization and 30 TAC Chapter 285 for Williamson County except areas inside the City of Austin, and accepts applications only through MyGovernmentOnline. The county's instructions define a commercial structure as everything but a single-family residence and require a Commercial Questionnaire; every application uploads a warranty deed, a survey if not in a recorded subdivision, the system design, a separate soil evaluation and a site plan, and a design over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone or in the 100-year floodplain comes from a Texas registered sanitarian or professional engineer. The fee sheet updated September 12, 2025 lists commercial permits at $810 for a non-aerobic system and $910 for an aerobic system, residential permits at $510 to $710 by system type, $100 for an extra site visit and $150 for an additional design review. Construction cannot begin until an Authorization to Construct is granted and a License to Operate issues after the final inspection; the county's OSSF Guide says the initial design review may take up to 30 days, and the other pages state no turnaround. | Williamson County Engineer's Office, OSSF program, 3151 SE Inner Loop, Suite B, Georgetown, (512) 943-3330 | Williamson County, on-site sewage facilities, and the OSSF program fee sheet, read 2026-09-20 |
| Driveway permit onto a county road | The County Engineer's Road and Bridge Division requires a Driveway Permit to build or modify a driveway connecting to a county-maintained road and a Utility Permit for any utility work in the county right-of-way, both applied for through MyGovernmentOnline. The Driveway Policy adopted December 7, 2021 sets a minimum 18-inch culvert, a 24-foot minimum length with concrete safety end treatment, requires a site plan with the application for a commercial, industrial or multifamily driveway, sets 100-foot spacing for commercial driveways on roads under 40 mph, and requires a Floodplain Development Permit where the driveway is in a regulated floodplain; the owner buys and installs the pipe after staff specify its size. Neither the Road and Bridge page nor the 32-page policy states a dollar fee; the online instructions say fees are invoiced after review. | Williamson County Engineer, Road and Bridge Division, (512) 943-3330 | Williamson County, Road and Bridge, and the Williamson County Driveway Policy, read 2026-09-20 |

The ground under Williamson County, and the documents that describe it
The 1983 soil survey puts the western part of Williamson County in the Grand Prairie, thin stony soils formed in limestone or limestone and marl, and the central and eastern parts in the Texas Blackland Prairie, deep to shallow clayey soils formed in marine marls, ancient clayey alluvium, soft limestone and chalk. The survey never uses the word Balcones and never describes the escarpment (the word appears once, as a map-legend heading); it locates the limestone-to-clay boundary by parent material: limestone and dolomite in the west, chalk and marl in the center, clayey mudstone and chalky marl in the east. Source: USDA Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Williamson County, Texas (1983), natural resources and parent material, read 2026-09-20.
The Branyon-Houston Black-Burleson unit is about 27 percent of the county, and the survey says these soils have high shrink-swell potential and corrosivity to steel pipe, and that buildings and streets buckle and crack if not properly constructed. Houston Black soils are deep, moderately well drained clays with combined surface horizons of 60 to 100 inches or more and dry-season cracks 0.4 inch to four inches wide reaching 20 inches deep. The Del Rio Clay lies in a narrow belt mainly along Interstate 35 under those soils. Source: USDA Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Williamson County, Texas (1983), general soil map unit 1 and the Houston Black series, read 2026-09-20.
West of Interstate 35 the Eckrant-Georgetown unit is about 19 percent of the county and the Denton-Eckrant-Doss unit about 21 percent; the survey says their limestone substratum gives a good base for foundations and streets but is hard to excavate, while shrink-swell is a hazard on Denton soils. Eckrant soils are shallow and very shallow stony clays on indurated limestone, five to 20 inches thick, with the typical profile reaching coarsely fractured limestone at 11 inches. In this county the Glen Rose Formation is about 400 feet thick and the Edwards Limestone about 150 feet.

Asked before pricing
Do metal building contractors in Williamson County need a county building permit?
Not from the county. Williamson County's own pages state that it issues no building permits and reviews almost no site plans, and they point to the County Engineer's Road and Bridge Division at (512) 943-3330. Inside Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Hutto, Taylor or Liberty Hill the city permits the building instead.
What is the Certificate of Compliance in Williamson County, and who issues it?
The County Engineer's Office issues it, and it is a floodplain check rather than a building approval. It is required for all structures or other developments outside a floodplain in the unincorporated county, verifies that no 100-year floodplain exists at the proposed development, and carries a $25 non-refundable fee. Construction is authorized only after county approval.
Does the Williamson County Fire Marshal review a metal shop built outside city limits?
It depends on the building. The county fire code applies to new construction or substantial improvement of public buildings, commercial establishments and multi-family dwellings of four or more units in the unincorporated county, and requires a permit before construction starts. The pages read for this site do not define which shops fall inside that list, so call the Fire Marshal's Office at (512) 943-3831 first.
Which cities in Williamson County issue their own metal building permits?
Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Hutto, Taylor and Liberty Hill each run their own building permit, read for this page. Published review times run from 11 working days in Cedar Park to 30 business days in Georgetown. Jarrell also runs its own permits; its pages were not read, so nothing is stated about them here.
