Restoration in League City
Plans in League City must show the ultimate design wind speed and meet TDI requirements, and the city's county, Galveston, is first-tier in TDI's windstorm catastrophe area. Under TDI's inspection rules, roof replacements, major repairs and other alterations there generally need an inspection and certificate of compliance, but roof repairs under 100 square feet that leave the decking alone don't. According to the city, its Building Department Permit Fee Schedule took effect August 1, 2026, with a $150 minimum permit, $250 for demolition, and residential permits and plan review at $.42 and $.21 per square foot.
Contractor registration and the annual renewal are $150. Re-inspections climb from $100 to $300 to $500, work without a permit is charged double, and credit cards carry a 3.8% convenience fee. League City's Building Department is at 500 W Walker Street, League City, TX 77573, phone 281-554-1429, with Planning on 281-554-1080. The city enforces the 2021 International Residential and Building Codes and the 2023 NEC. The Online Permit Portal handles applications and review, and building work may run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
Four FEMA zones, A, AE, AO and VE, touch League City's boundary, counted without area. If you paid for storm repairs yourself, the GLO's Homeowner Reimbursement Program covers Galveston County and repays $3,000 to $75,000 of out-of-pocket costs on a stick-built main home. Ask your roofer whether the job crosses TDI's 100-square-foot line before the permit goes into the portal.
