Development & Permitting

Development Guide

The Development Guide can help you with the following:
  • Pre-application Conference
  • File a plat with the City of Victoria
  • Submit a site plan for any new commercial, industrial, other non-residential, multiple family, townhouse, or manufactured home park development.
  • Submit building plans.
*Pro tip - Before signing a contract to purchase or lease a specific piece of commercial real estate, please contact Development Services to gain additional insight regarding the proper use of the property. In addition, consider the use of a contractor with commercial real estate experience before starting any construction or remodeling of a property for your future business.

Development Review Process

Our Development Services Review Team prides itself on a 10 day site plan review process. A design review meeting is held every Wednesday at 702 N Main St, in the morning. All necessary representatives are present to review the site plan and/or project details. This is the opportunity for the developer to ask our team any questions and receive preliminary feedback. To schedule an appointment for a design review please call (361)485-3360.

What to Bring to Your Plan Review Appointment:
  • Conceptual Plans (site plans, renderings, building elevations)
  • Specific questions and requests for specific department representation (i.e. Utilities, Pre-treatment, Health Dept., Fire Marshall)
  • The more details you provide on your project the better our team can assist you with the development.
