Roofing in Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi's FY 2026 Development Fee Schedule (revised October 1, 2025) prints one line for roofing: "Roofing and Siding* $33.10 Permit/$100.00 Requested Inspection." Commercial roofing is priced at $0.045 per square foot with a $133.10 minimum. The Residential Remodels and Repairs page adds that windstorm related repairs require an engineer. The windstorm designated catastrophe area that TDI maps includes Corpus Christi, so inspections apply there and TWIA insures as the last resort; Nueces County is one of the 14 coastal counties on TDI's WPI-8 list.
TDI inspectors charge no fee, and an engineer's fee isn't regulated by TDI. Local amendments to the 2021 residential code (IRC), with the 2020 NEC, took effect August 1, 2023, along with the 2015 energy conservation code. Development Services is at 2406 Leopard Street, Corpus Christi, TX 78408, phone (361) 826-3240, with customer-service representatives reachable through 3-1-1 or 361-826-2489 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Corpus Christi housing, by the ACS for 2020-2024, shows a median year built of 1982.
For a complete roofing submission, bring the Residential Building Permit Application (Form 1003), a detailed scope of work naming the roofing method and materials, and a Texas Department of Insurance WPI-1 form from the windstorm engineer or inspector who will inspect for compliance.
