What matters for project planning
Huntsville's Natural Resources and Environmental Management division runs the city's stormwater management program, which was updated in 2020 with new design and discharge standards used in permitting for new construction. Because Huntsville's growth continues to add both infill and new subdivisions, current stormwater and drainage requirements should be confirmed with the city before major exterior or site work begins.

Verify the property, not just the city
Citywide context cannot establish a parcel’s flood zone, historic designation, permit requirements, soil conditions, or concealed construction. Confirm those items with the appropriate authority and selected provider before work begins.
