Commercial ProjectsPermits and inspections around Buchanan Dam
Buchanan Dam is unincorporated, so Llano County rules apply.
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: Buchanan Dam is unincorporated. Llano County Development Services in Llano handles development, OSSF, road cut, plat, RV park and 911 addressing applications through its iWorQ online portal.
- 02
How to apply: Apply through Llano County's iWorQ portal. The county does not list a building or electrical permit. For older buildings in the floodplain (built before 1991), a remodel needs a Substantial Improvement form with a contractor bid showing material and labor costs; if the work exceeds 50% of the structure's appraised value, the building must be brought up to the county's current flood rules.
- 03
Typical review time: Llano County asks for 7 to 10 business days for non-floodplain determinations, with more time for floodplain, septic and commercial projects.
- 04
What to know locally: LCRA's Highland Lakes Watershed Ordinance covers a portion of Llano County; check LCRA's boundary map for larger sites. Marinas on Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake need an LCRA permit.
- 05
Utility coordination: Not confirmed by address. Central Texas Electric Cooperative and Pedernales Electric Cooperative both list Llano County in their service areas. For new service, CTEC asks for the 911 address and the type of service (commercial, residential, well or irrigation), sends a staking technician, and issues a cost sheet. Jobs are scheduled in the order received after all fees are paid. Where PEC serves, it asks for an approved site plan and plat for commercial sites.
- 06
Inspections: Not published by the city.
