What are the zoning requirements?
Kerr County does not require building permits or Certificates of Occupancy. There are no zoning restrictions imposed by the Kerr County Subdivision Rules and Regulations.
However, there are other factors such as: set-back restrictions, plat restrictions and deed restrictions. Other agencies may require permitting, as well, among them: the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Driveway and Floodplain Permits
Floodplain permits are required for ALL work performed in the floodplain. Contact the Kerr County Engineering Office for permitting. (Fee required)
Driveway permits are required for repairs and alterations to existing driveways as well as new driveways to access property from a Kerr County maintained road. Contact the Kerr County Engineer for permitting. (No fee required)
Septic Permits and Water Well Permits
OSSF permits are required to install a septic system. Contact the Environmental Health department under OSSF for permitting.
Permits are required to drill a water well. Contact Headwaters Groundwater Conservation District for more details.
How far away from the road can I build or place objects such as landscaping, fencing, etc.?
You may place objects and build on or inside your property line. If your property line is in the road or too close to the pavement then staying approximately 10 feet away from the edge of the road is typically, but not always, sufficient.
There are several factors to consider in answering this question:
Kerr County's right-of-way
Utility easements
Set-back requirements
HOA regulations
Sight distance policy
Kerr County Right-of-Way
Every county-maintained road has a right-of-way area along the roadway that is required for Kerr County Road and Bridge to be able to maintain the roads properly. The right-of-way line varies depending on when the road was built, the requirements at the time it was built and the landscape.
If your property is part of a platted subdivision, then the right-of-way could be notated on the plat. Otherwise, it might be prescriptive and possibly referenced in your deed.
A surveyor is the only one who can provide exact information on right-of-way locations. If you are looking for an approximation, though, a good point of reference would be the utility poles. Usually, utility poles placed along the roadway are installed on the right-of-way line. If you stay behind the utility pole, then you should generally be clear of the right-of-way.
Sight Distance Policy
Any object obstructing the sight distance on a Kerr County-maintained road must be removed or altered in such a way as to allow for safe travel regardless of whether the object is located on private or public property. Reference Court Order 22974.
Setback Requirements
Setback requirements are usually notated in your deed description.
Utility Easements
Some platted subdivisions and property surveys have a notation of utility easements that are in addition to the county’s right-of-way, while others will overlap with the county's right-of-way.
Can I install a sign in the right-of-way on a Kerr County maintained road?
No, Kerr County Road and Bridge is responsible for all traffic control devices installed on a Kerr County maintained right-of-ways. Traffic Control Devices include: traffic mirrors, political signs, home made signs, privately purchased signs, etc.
Kerr County Road and Bridge has the authority to remove any unauthorized traffic control devices from the right-of-way under the Kerr County Unauthorized Traffic Control Devices Policy.
Private citizens may put private signs on their own private property.
Department Information
Prior to 1986, Kerr County was a precinct system that allowed each county commissioner to oversee the day-to-day operations of the road development and maintenance in their individual precincts.
Citizens voted in 1986 to establish the Kerr County Road & Bridge Department, thus creating a unitized road system. This allows for the Road Administrator to manage the daily operations, while the Kerr County Commissioners' Court, as a whole, sets policy, hires the Road Administrator, decides how much of the tax dollars are allocated for the maintenance of roads and determines which roads will be maintained by the county.
All Kerr County roads located outside a city's limits are named by the Commissioners' Court. That naming process is coordinated through Kerr County Road & Bridge and Kerr911.
