This section highlights some of the more common questions. If you have questions for the Planner-on-Call, please contact us at 979-764-3858 or POC@cstx.gov. Q: I keep hearing that my property is in the “ETJ,” what does that mean? A: The ETJ, or Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, is a contiguous, unincorporated, 3 1/2- mile radius around the City of College Station which gives the City the legal abil- ity to exercise some authority outside the corporate limits. The City does not reg- ulate land use in the ETJ, however we do require properties to follow our guide- lines for platting or subdividing property. For additional information regarding the ETJ and platting in the ETJ, please contact the Planner-on-Call.
