Winter Break Schedule

City of Corpus Christi – Winter Break Schedule

Closure Dates: Friday, December 25, 2026 – Friday, January 1, 2027

Development Services Department (DSD) will be closed for Winter Break.

To ensure the timely processing of Certificates of Occupancy (COs) before the end of the year, we request that you submit your closeout schedules by November 30th.

This will allow us to plan and facilitate closeout inspections between Saturday, December 19th and Thursday, December 24th.

Important: Floodplain closeout requests for 2026 must be received no later than December 18th.

During This Period:

• Final Inspections: We will conduct final inspections, with minor corrections allowed as passed limits.

• Life Safety Items: Life safety items will not be approved during this time and will require a re-inspection or photos for corrections made.

• Closing Documents: COs may be issued without closing documents, but we ask that all required documents be submitted as soon as they are received so we can promptly update the COs.

  • Properties requiring an elevation certificate or septic teller in order to operate must provide those documents before a final CO can be issued. If these are not received, only a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) can be issued.

  • Please ensure these documents are submitted to the respective departments well in advance to avoid delays.

• Our priority is to issue all necessary COs by December 24th.
