How to Apply for a Permit in Unincorporated Liberty County

Apply online through Liberty County's iWorQ Citizen Portal, which has applications for the Single Family Residential and Supplemental Permit, the Development Permit, and the Mobile Home Permit, and lets you search existing permits and pay permit fees. You can also submit completed forms in person at the Building Department or by email. Before applying for a building permit for any new structure (a new home, mobile home, shed, or pole barn), you must first obtain a Planning and Zoning Permit, which requires a copy of the deed, a site map, and a completed Planning and Zoning application. The Building Services Division issues permits and performs inspections for unincorporated Liberty County (Hosford, Lake Mystic, Telogia, Estiffanulga, and Sumatra); the City of Bristol runs its own building department.
