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: Steiner Ranch is unincorporated. The City of Austin's jurisdiction map places it in Austin's 2-mile ETJ, not inside city limits. Travis County Development Services issues development permits through MGO Connect, and the Travis County Fire Marshal's Office permits commercial buildings through tcfmopermits.com.

  • 02

    How to apply: Travis County requires a permit for any development outside city limits and has a Non-Residential Permit. The Fire Marshal requires plan review and a permit before building or substantially improving a commercial building, or changing its use, and says all plans must be submitted even for existing facilities. No county electrical permit is listed.

  • 03

    Typical review time: Not published. Fire Marshal plan review meetings are by appointment only.

  • 04

    Inspections: Not published. A Fire Marshal Certificate of Compliance is required before a facility opens to the public.

    What to know locally: Travis County enforces the 2021 International Fire Code with local amendments from January 1, 2026. Steiner Ranch borders Lake Travis and Lake Austin; LCRA's watershed ordinance covers parts of the Lake Travis watershed in Travis County.

  • 06

    Utility coordination: Not confirmed by address. Austin Energy serves portions of Travis County, and Pedernales Electric Cooperative lists Travis County in its service area. Where Austin Energy serves, larger commercial services need an Electric Service Planning Application, an AutoCAD site plan and a riser diagram, and service-only projects in the ETJ need a plot plan because Austin Energy cannot look up easements outside its own jurisdiction. Austin Energy also advises ordering metering equipment early because of supply delays.
