League City wrote the windstorm requirement into its own residential code. The R907.1 amendment means the TDI report is not optional — it is part of the permit.

League City amended the re-roofing section of the residential code so that all residential roof replacements require permits and the contractor must supply a TDI report certifying compliance with windstorm specifications. It is the strongest single fact about roofing in this city.
TDI places League City in the Inland I wind zone at a 120 mph three-second gust — Friendswood next door is Inland II at 110, Galveston Island is Seaward at 130. The zone drives fastening, edge metal and ridge treatment on a steep-slope residential roof.
Tuscan Lakes, Mar Bella, Victory Lakes, Magnolia Creek, Hidden Lakes and South Shore Harbour are covenant-controlled. We prepare the architectural submittal before scheduling, because an approval chased mid-job is a house with a bare deck and a forecast.
The city requires gutters on the sides and back of homes built on five-foot setbacks with ten-foot spacing. It is an easy thing to miss on a replacement and an awkward one to be told about afterwards.
League City’s amendments also cover a 350-pound attic ladder with clear decked access to mechanical and electrical equipment, and equipment pad uplift to 100 pounds on Inland I standards with galvanised or stainless hardware. We work to them rather than around them.
The residential permit application asks for warranty information signed by the property owner. You get the written workmanship warranty and manufacturer documents before you sign anything, because that is the point of the requirement.
Which county your parcel sits in, and which architectural control committee governs it. Both change the sequence, and neither is visible from the street.
The covenant submittal and the WPI-1 go in at the same time rather than one after the other, because waiting for one before starting the other is how a four-day job becomes a five-week one.
$150 residential re-roof permit, full tear-off to the deck, decking assessed with you able to see it and replaced at the agreed unit rate.
The TDI-appointed professional engineer inspects, files the verification, and the WPI-8 certificate issues. The city permit closes properly and your windstorm eligibility is intact.
What almost every League City home wears, and what the covenant committees are used to approving. The difference is in the fastening schedule, which on the coast is not a detail.
Worth discussing on a house that has already taken hail twice. Carriers in Texas sometimes discount for impact resistance, but that is your insurer’s call, not a legal entitlement.
Not permitted on new residential structures under the city’s amendments to R905.7 and R905.8. A single square is allowed vertically for decorative purposes; repairs under 25 percent of roof area are permitted on existing wood roofs.
Carried through to issue on every residential replacement, because the city’s own R907.1 amendment requires the TDI report.
Written and transferable, handed over before the permit application is signed rather than filed away afterwards.
Available on qualifying systems installed to specification, which on the Gulf Coast means the full fastening and edge schedule.

Yes. League City’s amendment to IRC R907.1 in Ordinance 2022-06 requires a permit for every residential roof replacement, and requires the contractor to supply a TDI report certifying compliance with windstorm specifications. The permit is $150, doubled if work starts first.
TDI’s Galveston County wind zone map places League City in Inland I, a 120 mph three-second-gust design wind speed. The city does not publish its own ordinance figure, and a TDI zone value and an adopted IRC table value are two different things — so we confirm the governing number with the building department per job.
Not on new residential construction. The city amended IRC R905.7 and R905.8 to prohibit wood shingles and shakes as a roofing material on new residential structures, with one square allowed vertically for decorative purposes. Repairs to an existing wood roof are permitted under 25 percent of the total roof area.
In most of the city, yes. Tuscan Lakes, Mar Bella, Victory Lakes, Magnolia Creek, Hidden Lakes and South Shore Harbour are all covenant-controlled with architectural review of colour and profile. We put that submittal in alongside the windstorm application so the two run in parallel.
Possibly, as a code matter rather than a preference. League City requires gutters on the sides and back of homes built on five-foot setbacks with ten-foot spacing. We check your setback before quoting so it is priced rather than discovered.
Yes — annual registration at $150, with proof of insurance naming the City of League City as certificate holder and a minimum of $250,000 in coverage. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so in a city like this one the municipal registration is the only governmental check that exists.
Older than the city’s reputation suggests. Of roughly 44,900 housing units, 13,749 were built between 2000 and 2009 and another 7,349 in the 1990s — about twenty-one thousand roofs at or past the end of an asphalt service life, in a city that is nearly three-quarters owner-occupied.
They are part of the same amendment package and they do come up on replacements. The city requires a 350-pound attic ladder with clear decked access to mechanical and electrical equipment, and equipment pads detailed for 100-pound uplift to Inland I standards using galvanised or stainless hardware.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
