Roofing in Abilene
Abilene's fee schedule charges nothing for a residential re-roof under five squares and $100 at five squares and above, with commercial roofing at $200 per roof structure; the page prints no effective date. The city's amendment to the 2021 International Residential Code, one of the 2021 codes on its Adopted Codes page, exempts re-roofing of 5 squares or less from permit. Building Inspections is at the northeast entrance of City Hall, 555 Walnut Street, (325) 676-6273, weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
MyGov handles permit applications, lookups and reports. Abilene's median build year is 1975 in ACS data for 2020 to 2024. Roofing doesn't appear among the programs TDLR regulates, which include electricians and air conditioning contractors. When a property insurance claim pays for the work, Business & Commerce Code 27.02, as rewritten by the 2019 enrolled bill HB 2102, makes it a Class B misdemeanor for a seller to waive, absorb or rebate your deductible, or to help you avoid paying it.
The amendment exempts five squares or less while the fee table charges from five squares up, so for a roof of exactly five squares, call outside the 3:30 to 4 p.m. staff closure and ask which applies.
