Water Meter - Be Prepared
When
not using your home for an extended period it is prudent to turn off the water
to the home to prevent possible damage in case of a leak or burst pipe.
Owners are charged for any water that runs through a water meter, even if there
is a leak.
To prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane please
turn your water off at the meter. In a storm situation where
water is left on, the owner would be charged for the water. If there are
multiple homes with leaks due to damage, there could be low or no water pressure
for all homes.
Also in case of a storm please secure your garbage can and other loose object
around your home.

Repair Information
Any repair more than $100 requires a permit. This applies to
replacement of roofs, shingles, and siding. The permit must be signed not only
by the contractor but also the property owner. When work is completed, a
certificate is required by the insurance company if you want windstorm
insurance. A contractor must be
registered with the City.
Any replacement of doors or windows must comply with windstorm insurance codes
and to be windstorm impact resistant.
Contact 797-3600 for any information on construction, permits, regulations,
etc. If any home has been "Red Tagged" and the homeowner is not
certain of the reason, contact: 797-3600 for information. The "red
Tag" has the name of the inspector who issued it.
This is only general information about repairs after storm damage, not a
complete guide. Owners are responsible for contacting city, insurance,
etc. to obtain the latest repair information.
Over 95% of the lots in Terramar Beach are privately
owned. At any given time a number of houses and vacant lots are for sale
through local real estate agents. Those considering buying or
building on the beach front areas should also become familiar with the Texas
Open Beaches Act and understand how it affects beach front properties.
Deed Restrictions
Terramar Beach has 579 platted lots, with homes built on
approximately one third. All the homes are single family dwellings built
on pilings. Deed restrictions do not permit commercial development.

If you have any

materials, etc. that has been placed on or near your property. Let’s all
help keep things nice.
The garbage men
will not pick up yard debris such as limbs or palm leaves on vacant lots.
We are having a problem with residents taking this sort of debris and putting
it on the vacant lots across the street or next door to them. It sits
there forever and eventually has to be removed by someone before the vacant lot
can be mowed.
