Angleton local services

The permit list covers most of what homeowners hire for. Re-roofs and foundation leveling need one, so do accessory structures such as patios, pools and fences, and so does flatwork like a new driveway or sidewalk. Purely cosmetic remodeling isn't on the list; if you're unsure where your job falls, ask the building department before work starts.

Angleton adopted the 2024 International Codes and the 2023 National Electrical Code on August 25, 2026, replacing its 2015 codes, with a 90-day grace period before they take effect. A job permitted around that change may fall under either set, so ask your contractor which edition their plans follow. Ask the building department whether Angleton registers contractors, and ask the contractor for any city registration, before you hire.

The City of Angleton runs the water and wastewater utility. Council approved rate increases in 2025 to fund an $8 million wastewater treatment plant upgrade after an EPA order and a TCEQ violation. Residents over 65, residents with qualifying disabilities and veterans get $5 off the water base rate and $5 off the sewer base rate, $10 a month in all, if the account is in their name.

Heavy trash goes out every other week. The city has surveyed residents on moving to once-weekly cart pickup at $15.25 a month for one cart, with monthly recycling drop-off events in place of curbside recycling, so check the current schedule. For electricity, PowerToChoose lists plans in ZIP 77515 under CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric and Texas-New Mexico Power; your address decides the wires company and you choose the retail provider.

The Angleton Drainage District is at 1123 County Road 428 (979-849-2414). Look up any address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you buy or build. Brazoria County is a TDI-designated catastrophe area, so new construction, additions and repairs, re-roofs included, must be built to TDI standards and inspected for a WPI-8 to qualify for TWIA wind and hail coverage. A flood policy won't pay for wind damage, and lenders typically require wind cover.

The Brazoria County Mosquito Control District sprays by air and truck (979-265-4261, ext. 1532), and the Brazoria Central Appraisal District values property and accepts protests online.

• House systems: AC repair, plumbers and electricians.
