The city's Building Permits page states: "All plans must conform to the 2003 International Building Code." The city's building code, including any adoption of the International Residential Code and its local amendments, is published in its municipal code, which was not read here, so the residential code edition and any changes to Chapter 9, Roof Assemblies, are not stated in this listing.

The city's Building Permits page lists, among the residential "Projects Requiring Permits", "Roof trusses and decking (but not shingles)", and "All structural remodels or repair". On that page, replacing shingles alone is not listed as needing a permit, while work on roof trusses or roof decking is.
