Floodplain permits for a new slab
Any structure built in the floodplain, and any change to land inside it, needs a permit from Bosque County's Floodplain Office, which serves as the county's floodplain administrator; the application is covered below. Outside the floodplain, the county's page says nothing either way about a house or shop slab, so put the question to Bosque County before the forms go in.
Limestone and fill under the slab
The Texas State Historical Association describes Bosque County's soils as shallow to deep and underlain by limestone, so how near the rock lies is found at each lot. Under the International Residential Code, slab fill is compacted and, without approval, limited to 24 inches when it is clean sand or gravel and 8 when it is earth.
The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates count 127 mobile homes in Laguna Park, about 15% of its housing units, with wide margins. Under Texas law, installing a manufactured home includes constructing the foundation system it rests on, and only a state-licensed installer may do that, so for those homes our slab work is the concrete around them: a carport or shed slab, steps, a walk or a patio. For the drive that leads to a new building, see Laguna Park driveways; every other service is on the Laguna Park list.

Questions on building slabs outside city limits
When does a house slab near Lake Whitney need an elevation certificate?
When the work lies in Bosque County's floodplain. The owner completes the county's Floodplain Development Permit Application, and the county reviews it and approves or disapproves it. A certificate of elevation is required before a permit is issued for any activity in the floodplain, and the landowner may need a survey first to establish the property's base flood elevation.
Is there a city building permit office in Laguna Park?
No. Laguna Park is unincorporated, so no city issues permits there, and the county rule we found is the floodplain permit. Homeowners' association and Corps of Engineers shoreline rules weren't part of our research, so check those as well.
Does a shed or carport slab need plastic sheeting under it?
As a rule, no. The 2015 International Residential Code leaves garages, utility buildings and other unheated accessory structures out of its vapor retarder requirement, and NRMCA says a vapor retarder is generally not necessary under an exterior slab on grade.
