Roofing in Pasadena
Any residential roofing repair or replacement in Pasadena carries a permit fee of $40.00 for each structure, application included, under the city's fee schedule, and that covers overlay only or replacement of like materials and any minor decking and structural work. The fee-schedule ordinance prohibits wood shingle, shake and other combustible roofing in any roofing project except minor repairs to existing single-family homes. TDI places Pasadena in its windstorm designated catastrophe area, where windstorm inspections apply and TWIA serves as the insurer of last resort.
TDI's list of home repairs that need no windstorm inspection includes roof repairs of less than 100 square feet that don't involve roof decking or framing members. The Permit Department, on the first floor of City Hall, 1149 Ellsworth, offers self-serve kiosks and in-person help from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., at 713-475-5575 or permitdept@pasadenatx.gov. A banner on the Permits and Licenses page says the 2024 codes go into effect February 2, 2026.
A 1977 median year built shows up for Pasadena in Census ACS 2020-2024 data, and ACS 2023 put the median home value at $193,600. Roof system replacement or repairs in excess of 25 per cent of each roof require a permit under that ordinance, so file before the 4:30 p.m. daily cutoff, after which no permits are issued.
