Applying for a completed construction certificate

• A signed WPI-2E application.
• A sealed post-construction inspection report and supporting documentation, or a sealed design in PDF format.
  • View detailed submission requirements located in Section 5.4604 of the Texas Administrative Code.

Applications will be processed after these documents are received.

The structure’s address and Application ID must be included on each document when emailed to Windstorm@tdi.texas.gov. TDI will send the Application ID to the requestor after the WPI-2E is submitted through the Windstorm system.

Requirements are in Texas Insurance Code 2210.2515.
