Georgetown — the Williamson County seat and one of the area's fastest-growing cities — keeps MLD Services busy, and replacing aging systems is a big part of that. If you're planning a changeout, you'll likely need a permit, and the easiest route is a licensed contractor who handles it as part of the job. Here's how it works in Georgetown.
When you need a permit in Georgetown
- AC, furnace, air handler, or full-system changeout — typically yes.
- New installs and additions — yes.
- Major ductwork or line-set changes — often yes.
- Routine repairs, tune-ups, filter or capacitor swaps — typically no.
Who issues the permit
Inside the city limits, the City of Georgetown inspections department is the Authority Having Jurisdiction. As the Williamson County seat, Georgetown's surrounding unincorporated areas fall under the county. Fees and inspection timelines are set locally and change, so we verify the current requirement for your specific address before we begin.
Why the permit protects you
- Code + safety: an independent inspector confirms a safe, compliant install.
- Warranty: unpermitted work can void manufacturer coverage.
- Resale: missing permits can complicate a future sale.
- Accountability: the work is tied to a licensed contractor.
