Metal Buildings in Mentone, TX

Loving County is the least-populated county in the United States and has no separate building-permit department. General inquiries go through the County Courthouse in Mentone. See Loving County Courthouse for current requirements before you build.

As a starting point for this part of West Texas / the Permian Basin & South Plains, we use a basic wind speed of 115 mph and a ground snow load of 10 psf — regional estimates, not a site-specific engineering figure. Your exact numbers can vary by exact location and elevation; verify them for your address at the free ASCE 7 Hazard Tool (asce7hazardtool.online) before finalizing a building design.

The regional frost depth estimate for this area is about 12 inches, based on IRC frost-line maps. Actual required footing depth is set by whatever building code applies locally (if any) — confirm with the building department listed above before pouring footings.
