Registration details
  • license: The city's roof-permit FAQ states "Roofing companies must be licensed by the State of Oklahoma." The city's Licenses & Permits page separately states that only "Electrical, plumbing and mechanical (heat and air) contractors working in the city limits must register their state license with the city," with a $125 fee; roofing contractors are not named among the trades subject to that local city registration.
Permit process note
"The City of Sand Springs only requires a permit to repair or replace a roof if the decking beneath of the roof or other structural components supporting the roof are replaced." The FAQ further notes that building codes allow only one layer of shingles above the decking, so old roofing material must be removed before new material is installed.
Inspection requirements
Inspection requests may be made at any time by calling Neighborhood Services at 918-246-2572. Residential permit reviews typically take one to two weeks and commercial permit reviews typically take about 10 business days, depending on project complexity.
Adopted code
The city's FAQ states Sand Springs has adopted the "2018 International Codes Council code series for building construction and trade work, and 2020 National Electrical Code, as adopted and amended by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Codes Commission," with a local amendment requiring backwater valves on all building drain sewer connections.
