The Woodlands Windstorm Certification FAQs
Do I need windstorm certification in The Woodlands, TX?
It depends on your exact address. TDI windstorm certification is only required inside TDI-designated catastrophe areas, and most of Montgomery County — including much of The Woodlands — sits outside them. If your property falls in a designated area, certification is required for new construction, re-roofing, and major exterior modifications. WPI-8 certification is for ongoing construction, while WPI-8E applies to construction that has been completed. Call (936) 284-4973 and we will verify your property in minutes.
How long does WPI-8 certification take in The Woodlands?
Our standard turnaround is 14 days from deposit to TDI submission for The Woodlands properties. Rush service is available with a 5-day turnaround. The on-site inspection typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on project complexity. Call (936) 284-4973 to schedule.
What building codes apply to windstorm construction in The Woodlands?
Construction in The Woodlands must comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) 2021, International Building Code (IBC) 2021, 28 TAC Chapter 5 (TDI Windstorm Inspection Rules), and The Woodlands residential standards. Our licensed engineers verify compliance with all applicable codes during the certification process.
How do I get a building permit in The Woodlands for a windstorm-area project?
Building permits in The Woodlands are handled by The Woodlands Township. TDI windstorm certification must be submitted with your permit application for construction in designated catastrophe areas.
