Rural Grayson projects can still need county sign-offs

On rural Grayson land, no zoning does not mean no paperwork. The Development Certificate is the county form for a new E-911 address, a new culvert, or a floodplain check. That form can come before a driveway, address, or homesite starts to feel real.

Septic has its own path. A new or replacement system needs an OSSF permit. If the site is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the project also needs a floodplain permit and an elevation certificate.

Single-family homes do not get a county building permit or certificate of occupancy. New commercial, public, and larger multifamily buildings go to the Fire Marshal.
