Who holds the originals

Comal County publishes septic permit records through a public online permit search with direct links to the scanned documents, an unusually open setup for Texas. Our access page for the county records the system and what a public search can reach. The full access facts, custodian, records system, and whether anonymous search worked when we tested it, are on the county access page: Comal County septic records access.

What a septic as-built shows

The most useful document in the set is the as-built: the drawing filed when the system was installed or repaired. A typical as-built shows the tank location and size, the drainfield layout and dimensions, the reserve area, setbacks from wells, water lines, and property lines, and often the soil log from the original site evaluation. It is the document a buyer, an inspector, or a pumper actually wants. Our guide to reading a septic as-built walks through each element.

How to look up your Comal County record

  1. Open the parcel map and search the property address or parcel number.
  2. If we hold documents for the parcel, they are listed against it and viewable directly.
  3. If nothing is recorded, check the Comal County access page: it names the office that keeps the originals and how to ask, where we have confirmed a route.

If the property has no record

Plenty of older systems predate consistent filing. For those, our generator produces a free estimated design from code tables and nearby recorded systems. It is estimated, NOT a county-stamped document.
