The Full-Record Ranking, By District
The City tags each permit with the council district of the address. Ranked by total re-roof permits since 2020, alongside each district's share of the last 12 months so a reader can see where the ranking held and where it moved. District 0 means an address outside a numbered district, typically an annexed or extraterritorial parcel; see below for the 370 permits tagged to more than one district or to none at all.
| Council district | Permits, all-time | Share, all-time | Permits, last 12 months | Share, last 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 3,478 | 12.0% | 536 | 11.6% |
| 6 | 3,324 | 11.5% | 614 | 13.3% |
| 3 | 2,871 | 9.9% | 441 | 9.5% |
| 7 | 2,731 | 9.5% | 664 | 14.3% |
| 0 | 2,695 | 9.3% | 190 | 4.1% |
| 9 | 2,684 | 9.3% | 311 | 6.7% |
| 1 | 2,568 | 8.9% | 399 | 8.6% |
| 4 | 2,529 | 8.8% | 457 | 9.9% |
| 2 | 2,394 | 8.3% | 357 | 7.7% |

Where The Ranking Is Moving
Comparing each district's all-time share with its share of the last 12 months shows which districts are pulling more of the City's re-roof volume recently and which are pulling less. District 7 gained the most, up 4.9 percentage points to 14.3% of the last 12 months from 9.5% all-time. District 0 lost the most, down 5.2 points to 4.1% from 9.3%. This is permit volume only. It does not say why a district moved, and it is not one of the five ranking inputs behind this site's company rankings.
Multi-District And Unrecorded Addresses
370 permits since 2020 (1.3% of the full record) are tagged to more than one council district or carry no district at all in the City's file, most commonly a boundary address the City recorded against two adjoining districts. In the last 12 months that is 41 permits (0.9%). These are counted in the site totals but not attributed to a single numbered district above, because picking one would not be a fact the City's own data states.
How To Read This Page
This is a second view of the same dataset as our permit index, which prints the district breakdown for the last 12 months alongside the most active permit holders, the by-year and by-month counts and open CSV and JSON downloads. This page adds the full-record ranking since 2020 and the change between the two windows. A permit count says a re-roof happened and was filed with the City; it says nothing about which neighborhoods sit inside which district, which this data does not state and we have not guessed at.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which San Antonio council district has the most re-roof permits?
- District 10, with 3,478 re-roof permits since 2020, 12.0% of the 28,865 permits the City tagged to a single numbered district. In the last 12 months the busiest is different: District 7, with 664 permits, 14.3% of the last 12 months' total. District 7 ranks 4th all-time, so its recent pace is well ahead of its long-run share.
- Which council district changed the most in the last 12 months?
- District 7 rose the most: 9.5% of all-time permits versus 14.3% in the last 12 months, a gain of 4.9 percentage points. District 0 fell the most, from 9.3% all-time to 4.1% in the last 12 months. This counts permit volume only; it is not evidence of storm damage, growth or decline in any one district on its own.
- What does council district 0 mean in the City of San Antonio permit data?
- District 0 in the City's file means the address sits outside a numbered council district, typically an annexed or extraterritorial parcel. It holds 2,695 re-roof permits since 2020, 9.2% of the full record, and 190 in the last 12 months.
- Do council districts with more permits have better roofers?
- No. A council district's permit count measures how many re-roofs the City recorded there, not the quality of the work or the companies that did it. It is not one of the five inputs behind our ranking; see the permit index for which companies pull the most permits, and our methodology for what we do rank on.
