Confirm the City’s permit route
Texas City’s Building Inspections Department reviews construction and remodeling permits and runs permit and inspection requests through its MGO portal. Ask the department which application and inspection steps apply to your specific roof work; its portal is where current permit information and inspection scheduling are handled.
Bring existing windstorm records to the discussion
If the property has a TDI windstorm certificate or prior inspection documents, locate them before planning a replacement. TDI maps show that local design requirements can vary within the designated catastrophe area. Check the exact property location and ask who will coordinate any required inspection and certificate for the proposed work.
Compare the actual roof scope
For replacement bids, compare the removal plan, underlayment and roof components, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, and written warranty information. For an active leak or an isolated concern, ask what the assessment found and whether repair is a reasonable option before deciding on replacement.
