Where
Service area: Sugar Land and nearby
Call from any Sugar Land address and you can be put in touch with an independent foundation repair company that works here. The same goes for Stafford, Meadows Place, Mission Bend, Pecan Grove and Katy. These places share the same kind of ground but not the same permit office, so this page says who issues permits where.

Pages for nearby places
Each of these has something that changes how a repair is arranged.
StaffordIts own city and its own permit desk. Stafford's records show what happens when piers go in first and the permit second.
KatySandier prairie loam in places, a small city with its own permit office, and a great deal of county land around it.
Pecan GroveNo city hall: permits are a Fort Bend County matter, and a utility district looks after the drains and the levee.Meadows Place and Mission Bend
Meadows Place is a city in its own right, with its own city hall. Tell the company which city you are in and ask it to confirm the permit with Meadows Place, not with Stafford or Sugar Land. A Stafford postcode on the envelope does not settle it.
Mission Bend is an unincorporated community. With no city hall, the county is the authority for building work. Ask the company which county office it files with for your street.
If you are not sure you are covered
City limits, mailing addresses and ZIP codes do not line up neatly in this part of Fort Bend County. If your address is close to one of the places above, call and give it. Ask whether a company is available for that address.
The soil is the common thread. Why foundations move in Sugar Land applies to all of these places, with one exception noted on the Katy page.
