UDC Development Manual

The UDC Development Manual is adopted as an integral component of the Unified Development Code. The manual is intended to provide applicants with the information and forms necessary to file a complete application required by the UDC. The manual contains all forms, fees, and guides for each type of permit processed by the Planning Department, plus meeting dates and other important information.

The Development Manual was updated in March 2019 and revised in September 2019 to reflect the recent changes to the development process in response to HB 3167.

Please contact the Planning Department at planning@georgetown.org or at 512-930-3575 if you have any questions or comments.
