No building permit applies here

It began as a Butterfield Overland Mail station in 1858 and became, by the 1980s, a residential community of modern subdivisions rather than a farm settlement. It sits inside the San Angelo metropolitan area and is anchored by Grape Creek ISD.

At 3,594 people this is the largest community on this list after San Angelo, and it has no permit office at all. Deed restrictions in the newer subdivisions are the real constraint.

Despite being larger than most incorporated towns in this region, Grape Creek is unincorporated with no municipal building department, and no county residential building permit applies. This surprises people more than any other fact on this site.
