Early 2000s
Roofing and Siding in Teravista
A golf course community built mainly in the early 2000s, lying between Round Rock and Georgetown. Which city your lot falls in decides whether a roof needs a permit.
Two Cities, Opposite Rules
Round Rock: no permit for a house re-roof.
Georgetown: a roofing permit, a registered contractor and a final inspection.
Confirm your address before the contractor orders materials.
A neighborhood guide describes Teravista as lying between Round Rock and Georgetown. This site has not confirmed, lot by lot, where the city line runs through it. Round Rock's Building Inspection office will verify an address at 512-218-5550.

Houses Around Twenty Years Old
The same guide puts most of Teravista's construction in the early 2000s, by a long list of builders. The 2000s were Round Rock's biggest decade: 27 percent of the city's housing units date from then.
A house finished in 2004 was nineteen when the September 2023 hail came through. Its original roof was already near the end of a normal life, which makes replacement the likely outcome after a storm like that.
If yours was, the open question is workmanship. If it was not, the question is how much life is left.
What to Do
- Find out which city you are in.
- In Georgetown, make sure the estimate includes the permit and that the contractor is registered there. The final inspection is a benefit; use it.
- In Round Rock, nobody inspects. Ask for photos against the checklist.
- Either way, check the association's rules on color and material.
