Restoration in Corpus Christi
Windstorm-related repairs in Corpus Christi require an engineer, Development Services says, and a roofing or siding permit submission includes a Texas Department of Insurance WPI-1 form from the windstorm engineer or inspector who will check the work. Nueces County is on TDI's windstorm catastrophe list, so a Texas Windstorm Insurance Association policy for a Corpus Christi home usually needs a TDI certificate of compliance. TDI's list goes county by county and doesn't rate wind speed or hurricane risk.
Corpus Christi's fee schedule revised October 1, 2025 covers the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2026: General Repair $146.41, Roofing and Siding $33.10, Demolition Residential $266.20. It says fees would be reassessed in August 2026 for fiscal year 2027, so ask for the newer sheet. Its code set is the 2021 International Codes, including the Residential and Existing Building Codes, effective August 1, 2023 with local amendments, and the 2020 National Electrical Code; the energy code stays at its 2015 edition.
You'll find Development Services at 2406 Leopard Street, Corpus Christi, TX 78408; call (361) 826-3240 between eight and five on weekdays. Flood is a separate policy, and FloodSmart says an NFIP policy starts 30 days after purchase, with four exceptions. Ask the windstorm engineer for the WPI-1 form before the roofer files for the permit.
