One of our Department's primary responsibilities is to ensure all new subdivision roadways -- both public and private -- located within the unincorporated areas of Tarrant County are built to our standards.
The Subdivision and Land Use Regulations document contains the following information:
Please note that Tarrant County does NOT issue building permits or certificates of occupancies. There are no zoning requirements in the unincorporated areas of Tarrant County.
