Foundation work in League City
League City's Building Department fee schedule, which took effect August 1, 2026, lists foundation repair at $150, the same as a roof, windows and exterior doors or siding. Doing the work unpermitted doubles the charge; contractor registration and its annual renewal are $150; re-inspections run $100, $300 and $500 for the first three. It says nothing about an engineer's sign-off. The city enforces 2021 codes, the IRC among them, and the 2023 NEC, and its Building page requires plans that show the ultimate design wind speed and meet Texas Department of Insurance requirements.
