- 01
Who issues electrical permits: Driftwood is unincorporated, with no city government. In unincorporated Hays County, the Hays County Fire Marshal's Office issues building construction permits for commercial and publicly accessible buildings through HaysCountyPermits.com.
- 02
How to apply: Submit an architect-stamped, wet-signed commercial plan set for fire code review through the Hays County Fire Marshal's Office portal. The cover sheet must list the codes used, construction type, occupancy, square footage and stories. Provide a TDLR registration number where applicable, and current fire flow data or a third-party fire flow test. Hays County Development Services requirements may also apply.
- 03
Inspections: The Fire Marshal performs fire code inspections and requires the approved plans on site. Electrical and other MEP inspections are done by a third-party qualified and licensed inspector, with copies of each inspection report sent to the Fire Marshal's Office. The Fire Marshal performs the final Certificate of Completion inspection.
- 04
What to know locally: Hays County's fire flow rule applies to every commercial submittal: if no fire flow information is available, a third party must test it. Hays County uses the 2018 International Fire Code. The county relies on third-party inspectors for MEP work, so plan for one from the start.
- 05
Utility coordination: Not confirmed on an official page for Driftwood. Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) lists Hays County in its service area. If the site is on PEC, new commercial service needs a one-line electrical diagram, the 911 address, a warranty deed, an approved site plan and plat, and the service size in amps. PEC notes an inspection process may apply depending on the project, and some areas require city inspections before connection.
