TO BUILD IN THE VILLAGE Contact the Building Permit Official’s Office, Randy L. Stroud, P. E. at 979-849-3141. The office is located at 201 South Velasco, Angleton, Texas 77515. Office hours are 8 to 12 and 1 to 5 Monday through Friday. The Building Permit Official will give you a list of items which must be provided in order to get a Building Permit (or Development Permit). The permit must be obtained prior to any work being done on the property. The Building Permit Official will help you determine your flood plain designation after a legal description of the property is provided. The Building Permit process is designed to insure compliance not only with Village of Bailey’s Prairie rules, but also with FEMA, State Windstorm, and Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) regulations, as well as Brazoria County Health Department rules for water wells and sanitary control facilities. After all required documents are submitted to the Building Permit Official and the building permit fee is paid, the Building Permit Official will issue a Building Permit. The permit is good for 6 months from the date of issuance and can be revoked for non-compliance with the regulations. If construction does not begin within the 6 month period, a new permit must be secured. The permit allows construction to begin and, also, authorizes temporary electrical service to be installed. Prior to pouring the concrete for the slab, copies of a FEMA elevation certification certifying the elevation of the forms, a Windstorm Foundation inspection, and a TRCC pre-pour inspection must be provided to the Building Permit Official. After a visual inspection, the Building Permit Official will issue a certificate to authorize the concrete to be poured. Upon completion of construction, documentation must be provided for a FEMA final elevation certification, a final Windstorm inspection, a final TRCC inspection, a well log and a final sanitation permit from the Brazoria County Health Department. After receipt of the documents, the Building Permit Official will issue a Certification of Occupancy which allows permanent electrical service to be connected and allows the building to be inhabited.
