Commissioners grant three floodplain permits for work at 8998 County Road 2448

Henderson County Commissioners Court · July 15, 2026

Summary

The court unanimously approved three permits for 21st Mortgage Corporation to remove a mobile home, remove a septic system and cap or disable a well at 8998 County Road 2448 in a zone AE floodplain, with a hold-harmless clause inserted into each permit.

Henderson County Commissioners Court approved three floodplain permits allowing 21st Mortgage Corporation (or assignees) to perform work at 8998 County Road 2448 in Toole, Texas.

County floodplain staff read a standard hold-harmless clause into the record and explained the flood-hazard maps are used for regulatory evaluations; the clause states that issuance of an exemption certificate does not create county liability for flood damage and that additional federal, state or local permits might still be required.

The three permits authorize: removal of an existing mobile home from Zone AE; removal of a septic system at the same location; and capping or otherwise disabling an existing water well in the floodplain. Floodplain staff clarified the applicant is the property owner (listed as 21st Mortgage) and that, in the case of the well, the work is expected to cap rather than remove it.

Commissioner Spivey (S6) moved approval, Commissioner Tooley seconded, and the court approved the permits unanimously with all necessary signatures authorized. The floodplain administrator said staff would sign and the county judge would execute the required paperwork before contractors begin work.
