The pairs are $40.00 and $64.00 up to 1,000 square feet, $45.00 and $73.00 from 1,001 to 2,000, and $55.00 and $76.00 at 2,001 or more. A re-roof is $34.00 and $50.00, and the page lists a technology fee of $20.00. No residential demolition fee is printed.
What the application needs is: the demolition form, valid owner ID, proof of ownership, a copy of the recorded deed and tax documents.

Some of the flood maps along Laredo's boundary are missing or outdated, according to TWDB's regional flood data. Laredo homes went up in 1997 at the Census median. Most home policies cover sudden water damage, such as a burst pipe or an overflowing toilet, TDI says, but damage from a slow leak or seepage usually isn't covered, and neither is mold that grows from it. Gather the owner ID, deed copy and tax documents before you email a demolition application.
