Roofing in Lubbock
Lubbock's Building Inspections FAQ lists the 2021 residential code (IRC), IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC and IECC, along with the 2020 NEC. Lubbock takes permit applications in its online Citizen Self Service portal, and contractors working in the city register with Building Safety, which takes calls at 806-775-2087 on weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., where you can ask for a Residential Plans Examiner. Lubbock counts 46.2% of homes from before 1980 in ACS 2023, while the 2020-2024 ACS gives a 1984 median year built and 51.2% of occupied units as owner-occupied.
TDLR, which regulates electricians, mold assessors and remediators, water well drillers and elevator safety, has no roofing program. Insurance Code ch. 707 (HB 2102, 2019 enrolled text, effective September 1, 2019) lets an insurer with replacement cost coverage hold recoverable depreciation until it sees reasonable proof you paid the deductible, and TDI says contractors may not waive that deductible, help you avoid it, or give a rebate or credit equal to it, and that your insurer can ask for proof that you paid it before it pays the full claim. The permit pages don't show a re-roof fee or re-roof permit rule, so ask Building Safety on the FAQ's second permit line, 806-775-3155.
