Where Crosby sits
The Handbook puts Crosby on Farm Road 2100, two miles north of State Highway 90, and describes its early trade area as the land between the San Jacinto River and Cedar Bayou (Handbook of Texas, "Crosby, TX", checked 2026-10-19). It doesn't settle whether every Crosby address is inside or outside a city, so confirm yours with Harris County before work starts.
Harris County and the 500-year floodplain
Harris County Engineering's FAQ covers a case many Crosby owners may meet: a lot the county map shows in the 500-year (shaded X) floodplain. There, it says, an elevation certificate is needed along with the completed development permit application and an accurate site plan. It then says to compare the base flood elevation (BFE) with the lowest adjacent grade (LAG): "If the LAG is equal to or greater than the BFE, then you will process your application like your home is not in the 100-year floodplain. If the LAG is less than the BFE, then you will process your application like your home is in the 100 Year floodplain." (Harris County Engineering permit FAQ, official county page, checked 2026-10-19). Whether a foundation repair counts as development under those rules is a question for the county.
Flood zones around Crosby
Crosby owners can find which shaded zone applies on Harris County's Flood Education Mapping Tool, which overlays the 1% and 0.2% annual-chance floodplains on an address search (Harris County Flood Education Mapping Tool, county flood map tool, checked 2026-10-19). Take that result with you when you call the county.
Before you hire in Crosby
Ask whether the work needs a permit or other approval, and who gets it. The FTC's advice is "Get multiple estimates," and it lists "Scammers ask you to get any required building permits" among the signs of a home improvement scam (FTC home improvement scam guide, checked 2026-10-20). For contract questions, ask an attorney. See who evaluates a foundation.
