Two kinds of ground
Like Round Rock, Georgetown straddles the Balcones Escarpment. East of I-35 the land flattens into Blackland Prairie with dark clay soils; west of it the ground turns hilly and karst-like, with thin topsoil over limestone. Inner Space Cavern, just west of I-35 on the south side of town, is a big example of that limestone. The result is a city where the foundation question depends on which side of the highway you're on.
East-side neighborhoods see classic clay movement: seasonal cracks, sticking doors and dropped corners. West-side homes, including around Sun City Texas, the 55-and-over community off Williams Drive that opened in 1995, tend to see settlement from fill and drainage on rolling lots. Older homes near the 1911 courthouse square include pier-and-beam houses that need crawl-space repairs.
Georgetown permits
The City of Georgetown lists Foundation Repair as its own residential permit type in its online permit portal, and its code requires a permit to repair a structure. We file it and coordinate the engineer, just as we do in Round Rock. Homes in the Downtown and Old Town overlays may also need a Certificate of Appropriateness.

- East or west of I-35? It changes what we look for
