Home / Roofing by City / Midland, Texas

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Midland, TX, issued by City of Midland - Development Services, Permitting and Inspections. Midland has published no roofing-specific permit guidance, permit type or fee. Its Building Permits page states: "A residential building permit is required for new construction, additions, remodeling, repairs, and detached accessory buildings. Most construction projects will also require a licensed and bonded contractor who is registered with the City of Midland." The city's IRC amendments do not add roof work to the list of work exempt from permit (IRC Section R105.2), and the Code section of the city fee schedule (Ordinance No. 10710, effective February 1, 2026) has no roofing line. Applications, plan submittals, invoice payment and inspection scheduling run through the PermitMidland portal; residential applications may also be emailed as PDF attachments to [email protected] with the project address in the subject line. The page describes the sequence: pay 25% of the fee at submission, pay the remaining 75% on plan approval, and "A bonded contractor must be listed on the permit for issuance." "The permit must be visible on the job site." Work must start within 180 days of issuance and may not stop for more than 180 days, or the permit expires. "Permit applications and other payments will not be accepted or issued after 4 PM." A $50 reinspection fee applies when a scheduled inspection fails or the work is not ready.
