Heating and cooling in The Woodlands
The Woodlands is a township, not a city. The Township's Permitting page says permits are required for most exterior home projects, and those are covenant and design-review permits handled through its Covenant Administration and a Permitting Portal. That page doesn't list a mechanical permit office, fee or adopted code edition, so ask the Township which agency issues a mechanical permit at your address before work is booked. In The Woodlands, 7.2% of units come from 1950 through 1979, the median year built is 2000 (Census, 2020 to 2024), and owner-occupied homes there carry a median value of $511,700. Start with the Township's Covenant Administration office.

Permits for heating and cooling work in The Woodlands
Texas cities issue the permit for replacing a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, and each city sets its own fee; the ones cited on our Texas page all require one. TDLR licenses the air conditioning and refrigeration contractor, so ask for that license number as well as what your city's permit office needs.
