Permitting is highly decentralized, with the City of El Paso handling the vast majority of urban development. The El Paso County Planning and Development Department primarily oversees unincorporated areas, focusing on subdivision platting, floodplain management, and septic system permitting. Projects within city limits must adhere to specific municipal zoning and building codes, while unincorporated areas are subject to county-specific development regulations.
