Building in North Richland Hills
What to know before you build here
Home Town is the newer walkable neighborhood near the NRH Centre, and older ranch homes fill the streets south toward Loop 820. Iron Horse Golf Course and NRH2O sit in the middle of the city, and Little Bear Creek runs along the north side.
Permits and HOA
City of North Richland Hills Building Inspections, part of Development Services, issues residential permits. Home Town and the newer subdivisions have an HOA whose approval usually comes first. The city is mostly built out.
The ground under the posts
Expansive clay under most neighborhoods. Pergola and patio cover posts go on engineered piers set below the active zone, and older lots can have existing slabs and buried lines to work around.
