Our electrical contractor license (TECL #39622) is statewide. We file the permit, handle the utility paperwork and meet the inspector.
- 01
Who issues electrical permits: Barton Creek is an unincorporated place with no city government. Travis County Development Services issues development permits for land outside city limits through MGO Connect, and the Travis County Fire Marshal issues commercial building permits through tcfmopermits.com.
- 02
How to apply: Travis County says any development outside city limits needs a county permit, and it offers a Non-Residential Permit and pre-development meetings. The Fire Marshal requires plan review and a permit before construction or substantial improvement of any commercial, public or multi-family building, or a change of use. The county does not list a separate electrical permit. Austin Energy says that in an ETJ, an electric permit from Austin Development Services is needed only when Austin Energy is the provider.
- 03
Inspections: The Travis County Fire Marshal takes inspection requests by phone at its main office, and plan reviewer meetings are by appointment. Not published for electrical work.
- 04
What to know locally: There is no city electrical inspection in unincorporated Barton Creek. The electric permit question turns on the utility: Austin Energy sites in an ETJ need an Austin Development Services electric permit, while the county lists no electrical permit of its own. Travis County enforces the 2021 International Fire Code from January 1, 2026, and a Fire Marshal Certificate of Compliance is required before a facility opens to the public.
- 05
Utility coordination: Not confirmed on an official page for Barton Creek. Austin Energy and Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) both serve parts of Travis County. If the site is on Austin Energy, commercial projects over 350 amps single-phase or 225 amps three-phase need an Electric Service Planning Application (ESPA), a site plan CAD file and a riser diagram, and ETJ projects should include a plot plan because Austin Energy cannot look up easements outside its jurisdiction. If the site is on PEC, new commercial service needs a site plan, one-line diagram, 911 address, warranty deed, plat and service size in amps.
- 06
Typical review time: Not published by the city.
