Georgetown, TX

Georgetown is the town where the permit conversation matters most, because a large part of what makes it beautiful is legally protected. If your house sits in the Downtown or Old Town overlay, exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit will issue — and that is a design review, not a formality.

The housing here

Two very different worlds. The Old Town and downtown squares hold some of the best-preserved Victorian and early-1900s housing in Central Texas, much of it inside a historic overlay. Then there is Sun City and the newer master-planned areas to the west, which are almost entirely post-1995 single-storey slab construction built for accessibility.

What that means on site

  • Anything visible from the street in the Old Town overlay — windows, siding, porches, roof material, even paint in some cases — goes through a Certificate of Appropriateness with the Historic Preservation Officer or HARC before the building permit issues. We plan for that review rather than fighting it.
  • Sun City houses are built single-storey with wide doorways and low thresholds. Accessible bathroom work here is genuinely common, and there is an established way to do it that keeps resale value.
  • Original wood windows in Old Town are often repairable and, in the overlay, replacement may not be approved anyway. Restoration is frequently the faster route as well as the cheaper one.

Questions

Remodeling in Georgetown — the questions we get

Can't find your answer? Ask us directly — we usually reply the same day.

Applications go through the MyGovernmentOnline portal. The part that catches homeowners is the historic overlay: a Certificate of Appropriateness is reviewed against the Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines by the Historic Preservation Officer or the Historic and Architectural Review Commission, and it comes before the building permit, not after.

We are based in Taylor, so Georgetown is the one with the historic overlay. That matters more than it sounds: it means a site visit within days, and a crew that is not driving in from another county.

Yes. We apply, track and schedule inspections through City of Georgetown Development Services using MyGovernmentOnline. You do not deal with the permit office.
