Cedar Park At A Glance
What homeowners in Cedar Park should know
In Cedar Park, roofing permit and inspection rules are set by the city and can vary from one community to the next. Texas has no statewide roofing license, so confirm requirements with Cedar Park’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, The Roof Shepherd manages the whole project, from the contract and materials to the crew, the final walkthrough, and your written workmanship warranty.
Growth & Construction
Cedar Park sits within Williamson County, an area that has seen ongoing residential growth across Central Texas. New construction and resale inspections both benefit from a documented condition review before any roofing decision. Cedar Park is a fast-growing Williamson County suburb northwest of Austin, with a dense suburban housing stock exposed to recurring Central Texas hail.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 228 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Cedar Park since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2023, with 46 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Williamson County neighborhoods have an HOA with rules on shingle color, material type and anything visible from the street. Confirm requirements with your HOA before selecting materials.
Common Roofing Issues
Cedar Park’s rapid subdivision growth means many homes built in the early 2000s are now approaching the age where granule loss and pipe boot degradation become active concerns.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Cedar Park, 2000-2026. It is not an estimate and not a sales figure. If your roof was under one of these dates, that is a documentation question worth answering.
| Hail events on record | 219 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 70 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.00 in · May 14, 2008 |
| Busiest year | 2023 · 46 events |
| Most common months | April and May |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 65 mph · May 23, 2017 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 154 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | 1 report of 1 in or larger · largest 1.00 in on April 18, 2026 |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Williamson County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Cedar Park centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked September 7, 2026 against two feeds that do not share the archive's bias: radar hail signatures from the NEXRAD hail detection algorithm (NOAA NCEI Severe Weather Data Inventory, same 10 mile radius, 2000-2026), counted as days with a signature of one inch or larger, and the Storm Prediction Center's preliminary reports for the last 12 months, which are unreviewed and never a competing total. A radar day and a reported event are different units and are not expected to match: the archive needs a witness and undercounts, radar needs none and can flag hail that melted before it landed. What fell on one roof is settled by a documented inspection, not by any of these counts.
Year by year
Hail in Cedar Park, 2006 to 2025
Twenty seasons, one row each
One row per year, newest first. Each row counts the hail reports of one inch or larger within ten miles of Cedar Park, from the National Weather Service archive. 157 reports from 2006 to 2025, 65 of them at or above the 1.75-inch severe threshold. Counting only stones of one inch or larger, the busiest year in this table was 2023. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Central Texas Storm Record
Documented storm exposure in Cedar Park
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 103 hail events within 10 miles of Cedar Park since 2018, 40 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 3.5 inches on September 24, 2023 at Round Rock. Since 2018, hail here peaks in April and May.
Largest Recorded
The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused an NWS-estimated $600 million across Travis and Williamson counties; Georgetown saw verified 2.5 inch hail on April 22, 2025, a benchmark for what Central Texas storms can do.
What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. Documentation before any contractor conversation gives you a written record of visible conditions, and protects your position whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.
Neighborhood Exposure
Active neighborhoods in Cedar Park: Buttercup Creek, Ranch at Brushy Creek, Silver Oak, Twin Creeks, Whitestone Oaks. Hail exposure changes with lot height, tree cover and open ground nearby. A record of your block beats an estimate for the whole area.
How these figures are corroborated
Hail data sourced from NOAA Storm Prediction Center (SPC) filtered reports. Reports reflect spotter-confirmed events of 1″ or larger within 10 miles of city center. Not a formal risk assessment.
Verified Storm Record
Verified hail and wind history that defines Central Texas and the Hill Country, the region Cedar Park sits in. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.

Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, U.S. Census, and Texas Department of Insurance records and contemporaneous reporting. Not a formal risk assessment.
Live NOAA record Since August 2024, NOAA has logged 26 hail reports within 10 miles of Cedar Park, 11 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 3 inches on May 16, 2025, about 7.9 miles away. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering August 13, 2024 to September 11, 2026. A report near a property confirms hail fell nearby. It does not confirm that any particular roof was damaged, and it is not a coverage determination.
About Cedar Park
Local ground truth for Cedar Park properties
Cedar Park sits in Williamson County in Central Texas, home to roughly 78,380 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 103 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4″ on May 14, 2008.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Cedar Park are likely to be
When the houses went up
Cedar Park has 29,220 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2004. 36 percent were built before 2000 and 14 percent before 1990; 30 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 36 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 30 in 100 were built since 2010 and are on a first roof. Roof age is the first thing an inspection establishes, because the two groups have different questions.
| Year built | Homes | Share |

| Built 2020 or later | 387 | 1% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 8,342 | 29% |

What is different about working on Cedar Park homes
What roofs face in this market
Cedar Park sits in Williamson County, population 78,380. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 219 hail reports within ten miles of Cedar Park from 2000 to 2026, 70 of them at or above the 1.75 inch severe threshold, the size generally associated with roof damage. The largest stone in that record measured 4.0 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2023 was the busiest year in that record, with 46 reports. Activity concentrates in April and May. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 65 mph on May 23, 2017.
The largest hail recorded near Cedar Park, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| September 24, 2023 | 4.0″ |
| May 14, 2008 | 4.0″ |
| May 20, 2001 | 3.5″ |
If your roof was on the house for any of those dates, that is worth documenting whether or not you ever filed anything. A dated condition record is far easier to produce now than to reconstruct later.
Permits are a Cedar Park question, not a Texas question. Texas has no statewide building code for residential roofing. Each city and county adopts its own, so the threshold that triggers a permit, the fee, and whether a deck inspection is required before cover-up are all set locally in Williamson County. A contractor who cannot tell you which jurisdiction issues your permit, and who pulls it, has not done this here often. We pull it in our own name.

Roof permits and code in Cedar Park
What the city's own documents say
Cedar Park's permit page lists "Roof Covering (non-structural)" among work that does not require a permit, and adds that the list is not comprehensive. The 2021 IRC the city adopted (effective June 1, 2022) does not exempt roofing work, so we treat the page as the city's practice and not as a settled exemption; whether replacing decking needs a permit is a question the city has not answered in writing.
All contractors register with the city through its portal, at no fee. Cedar Park is on the 2021 IRC and the 2020 electrical code, which matters for rooftop solar.
Read at the city's ordinances, fee schedule and permit pages on August 28, 2026, re-checked at least yearly; the city's current document governs if it changes. The full table for thirteen Central Texas cities, with the three where the website and the ordinance disagree, is on our permits and codes by city page.
Cedar Park Home Guide
What Cedar Park homeowners should know about exterior work
City rules, utility rules and local records that change how siding, paint, fences, solar and outside work get done here. Checked against the sources on each card; the source’s current version governs if it changes.
Where the website and the ordinance disagree
Cedar Park lists roof covering that is non structural as work that does not need a permit, and house painting sits on the same list. Fences do not need a permit either, though the city is clear its ordinance still applies. Underneath that, Cedar Park has adopted the International Residential Code, and its adopting ordinance CO16.22.02.24.E1 changes the permit exemption list in exactly one respect, raising the exempt fence height to eight feet. Nothing else is changed, and roofing is not one of the categories the code exempts. So the published guidance and the adopted code do not line up, the same way they do not in several cities around here. Treat it as a flagged question rather than a settled answer, and confirm with the city for your address if the permit matters to your file. The city also asks you to call 512-401-5100 and confirm before work starts, which is good advice for this exact reason.
Sources: City of Cedar Park, Do I Need a Permit (page as read 2026-09-15); Cedar Park Code Sec. 3.01.001, adopting ordinance CO16.22.02.24.E1 (ordinance 2022-02-24; code section as read 2026-09-13).
Which code book Cedar Park is working from
Cedar Park has been on the 2021 family of International codes since June 1, 2022, covering building, residential, fire, plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas, existing building, energy conservation, property maintenance and pool and spa, together with the 2020 National Electrical Code, all with local amendments. Code editions are not trivia. Hutto next door adopted the 2024 editions, so the same crew doing the same detail can meet one city’s book and miss the other’s. Ask which edition a job is being built to, and ask before the work starts.
Sources: City of Cedar Park, Building Permits and Inspections (page as read 2026-09-15).
Every contractor has to be registered here
Cedar Park requires all contractors to register with the city as part of permitting, handled through its online permitting portal, and the city states there is no fee to complete that registration. Because it is free and required, a company that is not registered has no cost excuse. If someone asks you to pull the permit yourself for work that needs one, treat that as information about the company rather than a favor.

Sequence Matters
Get the roof documented first. Painting and exterior repairs come after. Condition notes from a roof visit often surface fascia rot, gutter separation, and trim damage that affect painting scope and cost before a single brush stroke is applied.

Homeowner Reviews
If you're looking for a roof replacement, look no further than the Roof Shepherd himself, David. A few months ago, an exterminator discovered a hole in our roof while checking for squirrels. David and his crew went out of their way and placed a solid, temporary patch over the hole. David and his crew did this at 11:30 at night, hours before severe weather hit the area. David did this right at the beginning of the process which most roofers would never bother to do. David and the crew did an excellent job, along with the full replacement of our gutters!!! The roof looks great and we are extremely happy with the result. David stayed in constant contact throughout the process and explained how to smoothly get things done with the insurance company, which we all know can be a pain. David's knowledge in roofing is second to none, so if you are close to replacement, or have questions about the process, trust me, call the Roof Shepherd!!!
Owner Response
Lonnie, thank you for the incredible review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd team with your home in Cedar Park. That late-night emergency response was definitely one of those real roofing moments, but the goal was simple: protect the home before the weather moved in and keep a roof opening from turning into interior damage. I'm grateful we were able to help at the very beginning of the process, then follow it through with the full re-roof and gutter replacement. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication side of the job. Roofing and insurance-related work can be stressful, so my goal is always to keep homeowners informed, prepared, and protected from start to finish. Thank you again for the trust, the kind words, and the opportunity to take care of your home.
The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew — fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
David and his crew did a fantastic job inspecting our home. When they did the inspection in the attic they found subpar work done by the home builder which, if it had not been discovered, would have cost us well over $10K to correct. Roof joists were two feet short and not attached to anything — just left hanging, with no joist brackets. In time our roof would have collapsed. Thank you, Roof Shepherd.
Owner Response
Andrew, thank you for trusting us with your home in Round Rock. I’m grateful we were able to take the time to look beyond the surface of the roof and evaluate the attic, ventilation, and structural conditions affecting the roof system. A roof can look prematurely aged for reasons that aren’t always visible from the outside. In this case, the attic inspection and documentation helped identify serious underlying concerns before they became a much larger and more expensive problem. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. This is exactly why The Roof Shepherd focuses on careful inspection, clear documentation, and helping homeowners understand what is really going on with their roof before making major decisions. Thank you again for the opportunity to help.
