Spring isn't a city, and that matters
Spring is an unincorporated census-designated place in Harris County, inside Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction. There's no Spring city hall issuing building permits. Harris County says a permit is needed for all development in the county, and Texas law limits county residential building standards to new homes started after September 1, 2009. In practice, homeowners here usually deal with the county, their HOA or deed restrictions, and their contractor. Our permits and HOAs page sorts out who covers what.
The ground is different here too. The Handbook of Texas describes Harris County's soil as heavy black coastal clay in the south and sandy loam north of Buffalo Bayou. More on our soil page.
Common questions

No. We're an independent referral service. A local contractor inspects, prices and does the work, and we don't guarantee any contractor's work.
Does it cost me anything?
No. Contractors pay us for referrals. It's free for homeowners.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Spring?
Spring has no city permit office. Harris County says a permit is needed for all development, but we didn't find a county rule specific to foundation repair. Call the county's residential permit group at 713-274-3920, and check your HOA's rules.
