From Holmes job records.
Most of New Braunfels is new. Its Census median build year is 2006, and about four in ten homes were built in 2010 or later. The city also keeps an older core: about one home in five went up before 1980, and some date to before 1940.
The newer side grew quickly. About three in ten New Braunfels homes were built in the 2010s alone, against fewer than one in ten in the 1990s. Roughly two-thirds of the city’s housing units are single-family detached houses, and about 65 percent are lived in by their owners. Where a subdivision filled in over a few years, most of the houses on a street are close to the same age.
The older end is smaller, but it is there: about one home in twelve dates to before 1960. On a house that old, check whether it carries a historic designation before you plan the re-roof.
Those two ends of town need different conversations. In a newer subdivision the questions are usually storm damage and HOA approval of the material and color. On an older house near the center, the first question is what the city will let you change. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates.
The City of New Braunfels is direct about it: re-roofing needs a permit. Residential roofing permits are applied for online, and a building permit expires at 180 days without proof of work or progress, with extensions available on request.
The city’s permit list also carries a separate Historical Property Alteration permit. If your house is a designated historic property, that is the review to plan for before a material is chosen. Holmes pulls the roofing permit and books the city’s inspection. Source: New Braunfels Building Permits page.

From 2020 through 2026, 42 hail reports were logged inside a ten-mile circle around New Braunfels, at least one in each of those years, and 10 of them measured 1.5 inches or more. The two largest were both 2 inches: near Hunter on March 23, 2021, and near New Braunfels on March 21, 2022. Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database.
