Required

The City's Permits, Inspections & Reports page states "Permits may be required for structural additions, deletions, electrical, plumbing and mechanical changes. Some examples are roof replacements, a new panel box, new bathroom, and HVAC changes," and that permit fees follow the schedule in the Unified Development Code, with UDC Sec. 10-1(c) imposing "a fee double the original permit fee" for work commenced before a permit is obtained. The Unified Development Code itself, at Sec. 10-9(b) (adopting the International Existing Buildings Code, 2018 edition, with local amendments), separately amends "Section 705.3 Roof Replacement" to read "Roof replacement shall be in accordance with 1511.31 of the International Building Code," while deleting the separate "705.3.1 Roof recover," "705.3.1.1 Exceptions," and "705.4 Roof recovering" sections -- confirming roof replacement is a distinct, code-defined category of regulated work under the City's adopted codes (Sec. 10-1(a) provides for "the issuance of permits and collection of fees" for the "alteration, repair ... of all buildings or structures").

Belton's Unified Development Code Chapter 10, Article I (Ord. No. 2022-4738, adopted Sep. 27, 2022) adopts, each "with local amendments": the International Building Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-1); International Mechanical Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-2); International Plumbing Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-3); National Electrical Code, 2017 edition (Sec. 10-4); International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-5); International Private Sewage Disposal Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-6); International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-7); International Energy Conservation Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-8); and International Existing Buildings Code, 2018 edition (Sec. 10-9).
