What Building In Leon Valley Takes
Leon Valley is an independent city surrounded by northwest San Antonio, with its commercial core along Bandera Road. GRAMS builds and renovates here with close attention to drainage, floodplain rules, and the city's certificate requirements.
Leon Valley covers about 3.5 square miles. The 2020 Census counted 11,542 residents, and the population has held steady since. With limited open land, much of the commercial work here is reinvestment: renovating older retail and office buildings on Bandera Road (SH 16), adding pad sites, and finishing out space for new tenants.
The city enforces the 2021 International Building Code with local amendments and the 2023 National Electrical Code. Its building chapter also covers floodplain administration, curb cuts, and sidewalk construction, which matter on many Bandera Road sites.
GRAMS handles that work end to end: structural concrete and paving, metal building systems for service and storage, and interior finish-outs, with permitting and inspections managed by our team.

How We Work In Leon Valley
Every market has its own permitting path, its own logistics, and its own pace. We plan for Leon Valley's before the first estimate goes out.
Permitting & Codes
Leon Valley's Planning and Zoning Department issues building and trade permits through the MyGovernmentOnline portal, and every commercial plan goes through commercial plan review before a permit is issued. We submit to the 2021 IBC and 2023 NEC and register our trades with the city.
Drainage & Floodplain
Leon Valley's code includes flood damage prevention and floodplain rules, and the city requires permits for flood repairs that affect structure or building systems. We confirm floodplain status, grading, and stormwater during preconstruction so a site plan does not stall in review.
Certificates
Leon Valley requires a Certificate of Completion for new construction and a Certificate of Compliance on a change of ownership before a certificate of occupancy is issued. We plan for both in the closeout schedule.
