Permits & Licenses

Step 1: Verify Address Location

The City of Helotes issues and permits and licenses for the City of Helotes Corporate City Limits only. A Helotes mailing address does not automatically mean the property is located within the City.

It is the responsibility of the individual applying for the permit to ensure that the location of the property is located within the City of Helotes Corporate City Limits.

Find the property on the Bexar County Appraisal District’s website to confirm permitting jurisdiction. Click Here to see how to determine permitting jurisdiction on the BCAD website. NOTE: A Helotes mailing address does not mean that the property is actually located within the City of Helotes jurisdiction. You must review the permitting jurisdiction on the BCAD website as explained above. Contact Development Services staff with any questions.

NO REFUNDS will be issued for permit or license applications incorrectly submitted due to a property being outside of the City of Helotes Corporate City Limits.

Step 2: Review the Helotes Fee Schedule

Review the City of Helotes Fee Schedule for details regarding permit and license fees.
