The county handles permitting for unincorporated areas, while incorporated cities like New Braunfels and Bulverde maintain their own building departments and zoning authority. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to specific county flood damage prevention regulations and onsite sewage facility (OSSF) permitting requirements.
