Maverick County, Texas Building Permit Guide

Census Bureau estimates for 2025 put 29,897 Maverick County residents in the unincorporated balance of the county and 28,926 in Eagle Pass, the only incorporated place the Census lists in the county.

This guide covers the county offices listed at 500 Quarry St and the City of Eagle Pass. The county site does not describe what its Building Inspector permits or inspects, so call that office before building on county land.

What requires a permit in Maverick County?

Outside city limits, most Texas counties issue no building permits for homes; the state licensing rules for electrical, A/C and plumbing work still apply.

Maverick County lists its own Building Inspector department, but what it permits or inspects is not stated on the county site, so ask it directly. Inside Eagle Pass, the city’s forms cover residential and commercial building permits, a driveway permit, a floodplain development permit, a ROW use permit and electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing permits, with contractor registration.
