Flood rules, fuel and HOA review in Pinehurst.
Setting the pad near the floodplain
Mill Creek, Goodson Branch and Decker Branch all cross Pinehurst, and FEMA maps Zone AE, including regulatory floodway, inside the community. An overlay of FEMA and Census maps puts about 16% of Pinehurst land in the Special Flood Hazard Area. Montgomery County requires structures in or within 100 feet of that area to sit at least 2 feet above Base Flood Elevation, verified by an Elevation Certificate. At the sizing visit we look at where the pad can go and whether that elevation rule reaches it.
The county Development Permit
The Montgomery County Permit Department in Conroe requires a Development Permit for all proposed development in unincorporated areas like Pinehurst, and it defines development broadly: any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate. Some work is exempt, so whether a new generator pad counts depends on the job and the lot. We check which county rules reach your lot and take care of any permits and inspections the install requires.
Natural gas in Audubon, propane where there is no line
The Audubon community lists CenterPoint Energy as its gas provider, which points to piped natural gas for a standby generator in the Audubon sections inside Pinehurst. In the rest of Pinehurst, gas service has to be confirmed house by house. Where there is no line, a propane tank fuels the unit.
HOA review in Audubon
Audubon's HOA handles deed restrictions and architectural review, so a standby generator there will likely need its approval. We prepare the HOA paperwork for you.
Sizing for a manufactured home or a new build
A manufactured home and a newer Audubon house can call for very different units. At the free sizing visit we look at the panel, the loads you want covered and where a pad can sit. We then recommend a unit and the transfer switch to go with it.

Questions we get from Pinehurst.
Is there a county permit for a generator in Pinehurst?
It can need a county Development Permit, depending on the lot and the work. Near the flood zone, the county's elevation rule may also call for an Elevation Certificate. We sort out what your lot needs before the crew arrives.
Can my generator run on natural gas in Pinehurst?
Yes, if the house has a natural gas line. Without one, the unit runs on propane, and we make the fuel hookup during the install.
My lot is near Mill Creek. Can I still have a generator?
That depends on where your lot falls on the FEMA flood map. Some Pinehurst land is mapped as regulatory floodway, so we check the map first and plan the pad's height and spot from there.
Does the Audubon HOA have to approve my generator?
Probably. Audubon's resident page lists no specific generator rule, so ask the HOA what its review covers before you pick a spot.
Does the floodplain or HOA review slow down an install in Pinehurst?
It can. Montgomery County sets the pace on any permit, and in Audubon, HOA architectural review may also need to clear. After that, the crew usually completes the install in one day.
