Kaufman County primarily handles permitting for unincorporated areas, focusing on septic systems, floodplain development, and driveway access. Incorporated cities such as Forney and Terrell maintain their own building departments and enforce zoning and building codes within their respective city limits. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to county oversight regarding infrastructure and environmental health regulations.
Kaufman County enforces specific floodplain development regulations and requires an On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) permit for all septic systems installed in unincorporated areas.
