Jurisdictions Where Roof Replacement Is Exempt From Permits

Colorado (10)

• Archuleta County Building Department

  Building permit authority for all unincorporated areas and subdivisions of Archuleta County, Colorado, based in Pagosa Springs. Reroof work does not require a permit unless structural damage is discovered, and the county enforces the 2015 International Codes.

• City of Commerce City - Building Inspection Division

  The building permit authority for the City of Commerce City in Adams County. Residential reroofs are exempt from permits under the city's exemption list; commercial and multi-family reroofs require permits, and contractors must hold a current City of Commerce City license in good standing.

• City of Gunnison Building Department

  The building permit authority for the City of Gunnison, Colorado. The Building Official reviews construction and remodeling plans and issues building and sign permits under the 2021 International Code Council codes as amended in Title 14 of the City of Gunnison Municipal Code. Building and sign permits are accepted online.

• Delta County Planning and Community Development

  Delta County, Colorado has adopted a Land Use Code but has not adopted building codes in the unincorporated areas of the county. Generally, no building permits are required and no certificates of occupancy are issued for construction in unincorporated Delta County, with the exception of the Highway 92 and Highway 50 Overlay Districts, where development requires a building permit. Roofing work in the unincorporated county is therefore not subject to a county reroof permit outside those overlay districts, though development must still comply with Land Use Code standards.

• Dolores County Commissioners Office

  Dolores County, Colorado (county seat Dove Creek) has no formal county building department and does not enforce a building code in unincorporated areas. Construction is tracked through a Building and Improvement Notice filed with the Assessor's Office, and septic and driveway permits may be required through the Commissioners Office.

• Montezuma County Planning and Zoning Department

  Montezuma County, Colorado does not have a building department and does not issue Certificates of Occupancy; building permits are not required for construction in the unincorporated county, so re-roofing work there requires no county roofing permit. Land-use matters such as addressing, septic and driveway permits are handled by the county Planning and Zoning Department in Cortez. Projects inside incorporated municipalities such as the City of Cortez are permitted by the municipal building department instead.

• Saguache County Land Use Office

  The land-use/construction permit authority for unincorporated Saguache County, Colorado, in the San Luis Valley. Construction permits are required for all structures, but the county's own Land Use FAQ states that a building permit is not required to replace a roof — a rare roofing permit exemption among Colorado counties. The county has not adopted a building code; its construction-permit process enforces conformance with State of Colorado electrical, plumbing, gas, and sewage regulations.

• Summit County Building Inspection Department

  The building permit authority for unincorporated Summit County, Colorado. Notably, Summit County does not require a permit for re-roofing unless the scope of work includes structural changes to the roof. All contractors must register with the Summit County Building Department to obtain permits, and the county has adopted the 2024 I-Code Series with amendments effective for plans submitted on or after July 1, 2026.

• Town of Silverthorne - Community Development Department (Building Division)

  The building permit authority for the Town of Silverthorne, Summit County. The Community Development Department accepts and issues building permits in-person, and partners with the Summit County Building Department for building code plan review and field inspections. Permits are not required for reroofing unless the structure of the roof is being modified.

• Weld County - Building Inspection Division

  The building permit authority for unincorporated Weld County, part of Planning and Development Services in Greeley. Notably exempts residential re-roofing finish work from permits, while commercial and structural roofing still require permits.

Arkansas (3)

• City of Fayetteville, Arkansas - Building Safety Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas (Washington County). Fayetteville's Building Safety Division, part of the Development Services Department, administers the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code (AFPC) - adopted by reference in City of Fayetteville Unified Development Code § 173.02(A) - together with the city's own Chapter 173 amendments covering construction documents, footings/foundations, concrete floors, crawl space, portable buildings and reroofing exemptions. Arkansas is a floor state (AFPC [A] 101.2.2) - Fayetteville must use the AFPC as its base and may only add more stringent provisions on top of it, never a different or less-stringent code. Notably, Fayetteville exempts routine residential reroofing from the building-permit requirement altogether, with no dollar or area threshold - see repair_permit_threshold.

• City of Little Rock, Arkansas - Building Codes Division (Department of Planning and Development)

  The permitting authority for the City of Little Rock, Arkansas (Pulaski County), the state capital and largest city. The City's Building Codes Division, part of the Department of Planning and Development, issues construction-related permits and provides plan review and inspection services for building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical construction. Little Rock adopts Arkansas's statewide residential code (the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code, Volume III, based on the 2021 IRC) by reference rather than printing a competing or modified residential code of its own; the state code is a floor that a city may only build on top of, never substitute for. Notably, Little Rock's own permit-fee ordinance excludes ordinary residential roof work from the building-permit requirement altogether - see roofing_permit_required and repair_permit_threshold.

• City of Springdale, Arkansas - Building Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Springdale, Arkansas, which straddles Washington and Benton Counties. Springdale's Building Department administers the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code (AFPC) - adopted as the city's Building Code by City of Springdale Code of Ordinances § 22-31 - together with the city's own Chapter 22 amendments covering flood-map insertions, permit fee schedules, footing depth, unsafe-structure abatement and building-moving rules. Arkansas is a floor state (AFPC [A] 101.2.2) - Springdale must use the AFPC as its base and may only add more stringent provisions on top of it, never a different or less-stringent code. Notably, Springdale's own Building Department FAQ distinguishes a rafters/structure reroof (permit required) from a covering-only reroof (no permit) - see repair_permit_threshold.

Georgia (8)

• Athens-Clarke County, Georgia - Building Permits & Inspections Department

  The permitting authority for Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. Athens and Clarke County are one consolidated government - the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County - so there is a single building department covering the county rather than a city department and a county department, and the Charter puts the unified government over the total area of Clarke County. The Building Permits & Inspections Department issues the building permits and runs the inspections. The one fact that changes how a roofer works here is that Athens-Clarke County does not require a building permit at all for replacing asphalt shingles or mineral-surfaced roll roofing, which is written into the exemption list in its own Code of Ordinances. Two small municipalities inside the county keep their own charters and are declared by the Charter to be outside the city part of the unified government - Winterville, whose own ordinance authorises the county building inspector to enforce the building codes inside the city, and Bogart, which titles its own website City of Bogart, Oconee County, Georgia and gives Oconee County Planning & Code Enforcement as its city inspector. Check with the town before assuming a job at either address is handled here.

• Bartow County, Georgia - Community Development Department, Building Inspections Division

  The building-permit and inspection authority for Bartow County, Georgia, north-west of Atlanta on the I-75 corridor, with its county seat and offices at Cartersville. The Building Inspections Division sits inside Community Development at 135 West Cherokee Avenue, Suite 124, and states its mission as protecting the public "through the administration and enforcement of adopted building codes." For a roofer this is one of the plainest jurisdictions in Georgia, because the County publishes a handout that answers the permit question in a single line and answers it in the roofer's favour, including for an overlay. It is also unusually candid about where its authority comes from: its Code does not purport to adopt the state codes at all, it recites that they are in force in every Georgia county as a matter of law. The County writes no roofing technical rules of its own, and its Code switches the model codes' appendices off by default.

• Cherokee County, Georgia - Building Inspections and Development Service Center

  The building-permit and inspection authority for unincorporated Cherokee County, Georgia, in the northern Atlanta metro, and for the City of Waleska, which the County names as within its own permitting territory. That scope statement is the County's own and it does not reach Cherokee's other incorporated cities - Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground and Nelson. The one thing a roofer needs to know here is that Cherokee treats a covering replacement as an ordinary repair: the Building Department states in terms that a permit is not required to replace shingles, but that a structural change in roof design does need one. Permits and inspections both run through the County's CityView portal, and the County publishes a complete eleven-stage inspection schedule with no roof stage in it.

• Clayton County, Georgia - Community & Economic Development Department, Building Permits

  The building-permit and inspection authority for Clayton County, Georgia, the county immediately south of Atlanta that contains Hartsfield-Jackson airport and has its seat at Jonesboro. Building Permits sits inside the Community & Economic Development Department at the P.K. Dixon Building Annex 2, 121 South McDonough Street, and the County describes its own work plainly: the section "issues building, mechanical, electrical and plumbing permits for residential and commercial remodels/repairs and new construction." For a roofer the important thing is that Clayton County has written the reroof permit question into its enacted ordinance rather than leaving it to a web page. Section 18-41 of the County Code exempts roof re-covering and replacement from the permit requirement, but only when none of three named conditions exists - and one of those three is that the roof already carries two or more applications of roof covering. So the answer here turns on what is already on the roof, and it is checkable before you bid.

• Cobb County, Georgia - Community Development Agency, Development and Inspections Division

  The building-permit and inspection authority for the UNINCORPORATED areas of Cobb County, Georgia, in the northwest Atlanta metro. It is not the authority inside Cobb's incorporated cities: Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs and Austell each permit their own limits, and Mableton began accepting its own building and development permits on March 1, 2025, with February 28, 2025 the last day the County accepted them for that territory. The one thing a roofer needs to know about Cobb is unusual for a metro county: the County's own published list of work exempt from residential permitting includes standard tab shingle replacement, so an ordinary residential shingle reroof in unincorporated Cobb is not permitted work, while the same job on a commercial building is.

• Fayette County, Georgia - Department of Building Safety

  The building-permit and inspection authority for unincorporated Fayette County, Georgia, on the southern edge of metropolitan Atlanta, and for the towns of Brooks and Woolsey, from offices at 140 Stonewall Avenue West in Fayetteville. This is one of the best-documented jurisdictions for roofing work in the state, and a roofer should read two things here before anything else. The first is the permit exemption: Fayette County has written a roofing exemption into its own enacted code, and it turns on two tests, whether the new covering matches the old and how much sheathing is being replaced. The second is the County's published climatic and geographic design criteria table, which most Georgia jurisdictions never fill in, and which settles the ice-barrier question and gives a wind speed with its basis stated. The County writes no roofing technical rules of its own beyond that table; it enforces the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes by a floating reference to the editions the state adopts, while substituting its own long administrative chapter for the codes' administrative provisions.

• Forsyth County, Georgia - Department of Building and Licensing

  The building-permit and inspection authority for Forsyth County, Georgia, on the north side of the Atlanta metro. Its territory is the county outside the City of Cumming, which runs its own Planning and Zoning department with its own chief building official and issues its own construction permits. The one thing a roofer needs to know here is unusual: the County's own published list of work needing a permit answers "Roofing, Re-Roof or Shingle Replacement" with a flat No, so an ordinary reroof in the County's territory is not permitted work and is never inspected - while the 2024 International Residential Code with Georgia Amendments still governs how the roof is built, because in Georgia the state codes apply whether or not a local government enforces them.

• Paulding County, Georgia - Community Development Department, Building & Permitting Division

  The building-permit and inspection authority for Paulding County, Georgia, on the north-western edge of the Atlanta metropolitan area, with its county seat at Dallas. The Building & Permitting Division sits inside Community Development on the first floor of the Government Administrative Building at 240 Constitution Boulevard. Two things make this county unusually easy to work in. First, its answer on reroof permits is published in its own words and turns on one test: structural work. Second, and rarer, Paulding is one of the few Georgia jurisdictions that has filled in the residential code's climatic and geographic criteria table for itself, so the ice-barrier answer and a wind figure are local facts here rather than open questions. The County writes no roofing rules of its own beyond that table; it enforces the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes by a floating reference to the latest editions the Department of Community Affairs adopts.

Idaho (4)

• Ada County Development Services - Building Division

  Ada County's Development Services Department is the building authority for unincorporated Ada County, Idaho's largest and most populous county, in the Treasure Valley around Boise. The Department states that its planning and engineering divisions process applications "in unincorporated Ada County," and Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna and Star each maintain their own separate building departments for permits inside their city limits, so a roof inside any of those cities is that city's permit and not the County's. Ada County's own building code ordinance (Ada County Code Title 7, Chapter 2) adopts the 2018 International Residential Code and amends it, and the County's amendment to Section R105.2, the list of work exempt from a building permit, adds an item exempting "roof repair, including complete replacement of roof coverings, in association with one- and two-family dwellings and their accessory structures" -- so an unincorporated Ada County homeowner does not need a County building permit for a reroof at all. The County has also replaced the residential code's climatic and geographic design criteria table with one of its own, which states plainly that no ice barrier underlayment is required.

• City of Lewiston - Community Development Department, Building Services

  Building Services, a division of the City of Lewiston's Community Development Department, is the building authority inside the Lewiston city limits, administering the building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical codes and inspecting the work it permits. The thing a roofer needs to know here first is unusual: Lewiston has written a roofing carve-out into the permit-exemption list of the residential code it adopted, so replacing a roof covering needs no building permit at all unless the job involves repair or replacement of structural components. The City's own adopted design criteria are equally specific -- ice barrier underlayment is not required, the wind speed figure is 115, ground snow load is 30 psf with a roof snow load of 25 psf, and the seismic design category is B. Lewiston sits at the Snake and Clearwater confluence directly across the river from Clarkston, Washington; everything on this page is Idaho law and none of it follows a job across the state line.

• City of Twin Falls - Building Safety Department

  The Building Safety Department is the City of Twin Falls' building authority, issuing and inspecting building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits inside the city limits. One thing here is unusual and it is the thing a roofer needs first: the Department states on its own Permit Requirements page that a permit is not required for reroofing, while a permit is required for new built-up roofs and trusses -- so the covering comes off and goes back on without a permit, but structural roof work does not. A permit exemption is not an exemption from the code. Twin Falls enforces the 2018 International Residential Code, and its own published residential design criteria set a 115 mph wind speed, a 25 psf minimum design roof load and no ice barrier underlayment requirement. Idaho contractor registration is required of the roofer either way, and the City publishes the exemption declaration form that goes with it.

• Gooding County - Planning and Zoning and Building Department

  The building permitting authority for unincorporated Gooding County, Idaho, in the Magic Valley west of Twin Falls. The County runs a combined Planning and Zoning and Building Department out of Gooding under a named building inspector, and it has moved its whole permit and inspection process onto the OpenGov platform. The reason a roofer should read this record before quoting a job here is that Gooding County is one of the few jurisdictions in this directory that says outright, in a handout it publishes itself, that a reroof does not need a building permit. The exemption is real but it has a hard edge, and the edge is the deck: the same paragraph says no structural changes are allowed without a permit and names removal or replacement of sheathing as an example of work that requires one. So a straightforward tear-off and re-cover is exempt in unincorporated Gooding County, and the moment rotten decking comes off it is not. The County publishes no roofing prescription of its own and no design criteria, so several of the questions this record would otherwise answer are left open rather than filled in from a neighbouring county.

Illinois (2)

• City of Naperville Building Permits (Transportation, Engineering and Development Business Group)

  The building permitting authority for the City of Naperville, Illinois, a home-rule city in DuPage and Will Counties. Municipal Code Section 5-1B-1, as amended by Ordinance No. 26-010 (passed February 17, 2026), adopts the 2024 International Residential Code, and the City applies the 2024 codes to permits submitted on or after April 1, 2026. The local amendments in Section 5-1B-2 set a 115 mph wind design speed and require ice barrier underlayment, add a rafter-tie rule for tray and cathedral ceilings, and require gutters and downspouts, but amend nothing in the reroofing section, so the base code's two-layer limit applies. The City's own permits page says no permit is needed for an asphalt composite shingle roof on a single-family home as long as the existing roof sheathing stays in place, and that metal, wood, slate or sealed-membrane roofing needs one; the adopted code names no roof work either way, and this record reports the City's stated test, which turns on material and sheathing. Illinois licenses roofing contractors statewide.

• City of Peoria Building Safety Division

  The building permitting authority for the City of Peoria, Illinois, working out of the Development Center on the second floor of City Hall, 419 Fulton Street. This is the City of Peoria only; Peoria County issues separately for unincorporated county land and is a different authority. The City has adopted the 2018 International Building Code and the 2018 International Residential Code by ordinance, and its own amendment ordinance, read in full, touches stairs, a board-of-appeals cross-reference, two fire-sprinkler sections and the plumbing chapter, and does not touch the roof-assembly or roof-covering chapters of either code. The City's own permit page says roofing that leaves the wood roof sheathing in place needs no permit and a reroof that replaces the sheathing does; the City Code names no roof work either way, and this record reports the City's stated test. Illinois licenses roofing contractors statewide with no dollar threshold, and a Peoria building official may not issue a permit to an unlicensed roofing contractor.

Indiana (11)

• Angola Building Safety Department

  The City of Angola runs its own Building Safety Department at 210 N Public Sq, and it issues the building permits inside the city limits rather than leaving them to Steuben County. Three things decide a roof here, and two of them cut the other way from most Indiana cities in this book. First, Angola takes the state rules by a floating reference: Municipal Code section 15.10.320 incorporates the Indiana Residential Code and provides that the incorporation "shall include any later amendments to those rules", so the current state code applies without the City re-enacting anything. Second, Angola is in the far northeast corner of the state, and the Steuben County row of the state climatic table is one of the rows that answers Yes to the ice barrier, so an ice and water membrane is a state requirement here and not a matter of the shingle manufacturer's preference. Third, Chapter 15.10 exempts "repair, maintenance, and replacement of roofing" from the building permit, subject to a structural carve out: an ordinary reroof needs no permit, but work that reaches load bearing members does. Read the permit entry below before quoting a job.

• City of Greenfield Planning and Building Department

  The building permitting authority for the City of Greenfield, Indiana, in Hancock County, working out of 10 S. State St. Under section 150.07(A) of the City code all permits are issued by the City's Building Inspector, and Hancock County runs its own separate Planning and Building Department with its own permit forms and phone line, so check which side of the city limit a job sits on before applying. Two things a roofer should know here. The City draws its reroof permit line at decking, five or more sheets replaced, not at roof area or cost. And its web pages still cite the 2005 Indiana Residential Code while its ordinance adopts the state rule as it currently stands.

• City of Greenwood, Indiana Building Commissioner

  The building-permit and inspection authority for the City of Greenwood, Indiana, a suburb on the south side of Indianapolis in Johnson County. Permits are issued by the City's own Building Commissioner inside Community Development Services at Greenwood City Center, 300 South Madison Avenue. The one thing to know before quoting a Greenwood roof is that the City draws its permit line through the deck rather than through the covering. A tear-off and reshingle needs no building permit here at all, and only a job that removes a quarter or more of the decking does.

• City of Huntington Community Development & Redevelopment Department

  The building permitting authority for the City of Huntington, Indiana, the seat of Huntington County. The City's department covers all properties within the corporate limits and nothing outside them: the County's own Department of Community Development, a separate office in the courthouse on North Jefferson Street, serves the unincorporated county and the towns of Andrews, Markle, Mount Etna, Roanoke and Warren. So check the address before calling. What a roofer most needs to know about the City is that its enacted permit list and its own permit guidance both leave ordinary re-shingling off the building-permit list, while structural roof work needs a Roof Alteration permit, and a historic-district property can need a separate certificate from the Historic Review Board.

• City of Kokomo, Indiana Inspection Services Department

  The building-permit and inspection authority for the City of Kokomo, Indiana, in Howard County in the north-central part of the state. The Permit Office is on the first floor of City Hall at 100 South Union Street and processes more than a thousand building permits a year. Its own fee schedule states that the department "includes the City of Kokomo only," so a job outside the city limits is not its business. The thing to know before quoting a Kokomo roof is that the City publishes a residential permit guide which puts replacing shingles on the no-permit side of the line, while the same department's fee schedule opens with a blanket sentence requiring a permit in advance for any work in the city. Settle which side your job falls on with the Permit Office before you start.

• City of Lawrence, Indiana - Building Department

  Lawrence is one of the excluded cities inside Marion County that kept its own building authority when Indianapolis consolidated, so a roof on the north-east side of the metro is permitted here and not downtown. The Building Department sits inside the Department of Public Works at 9001 East 59th Street and describes itself as providing "plan reviews and issues permits for all commercial, industrial and residential construction; performs building inspection to help comply with building codes." Two things make it unusual for a roofer. First, an ordinary re-roof needs no building permit at all - the City exempts re-roofing by ordinance and lists five specific triggers that pull a job back into permit territory. Second, the exemption does not extend to the contractor: the City publishes its own roofing handout and that handout says every contractor doing roofing work in Lawrence must be registered with the City, whether or not a permit is pulled.

• City of New Albany Building Department

  The building permitting authority for the City of New Albany, Indiana, in Floyd County. Two things set a New Albany roof apart. The City's own code exempts roof covering replacement from a building permit outright, provided no structural work is involved. And the same code requires anyone in the business of working on a house to hold a City residential contractor licence, won by written examination and backed by a one million dollar insurance requirement, so a permit-free reroof is not an unregulated one.

• City of Noblesville, Indiana - Department of Planning and Development, Building Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Noblesville, Indiana, in Hamilton County on the north side of the Indianapolis metro. Permits, plan review and inspections are run by the Department of Planning and Development's building division at 16 S 10th Street, and every application is filed through the City's Civic Access online portal rather than on paper. The thing to know before quoting a Noblesville roof is that the City's own Residential Permit Guide puts replacing shingles on the no-permit side of its flowchart, and its Commercial Permit FAQ answers the same question for commercial work in a single line: no permit for re-roof work unless structural work is also taking place. Code content is not a Noblesville question at all. Indiana's Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission writes the residential code for the whole state, and IC 22-13-2-3(c) bars a city, town or county from adopting an ordinance that conflicts with it or is more stringent or more detailed, so the City's role here is permit administration, fees and inspections rather than code content.

• City of Westfield, Indiana - Community Development Department, Building Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Westfield, Indiana, a Hamilton County city on the north edge of the Indianapolis metro and the home of Grand Park. Permits, plan review and inspections are run by the Building Division of the Community Development Department at 2728 East 171st Street, and every application and every inspection request goes through the City's Citizens Portal rather than on paper. Westfield is unusually direct about roofing for a city this size: it publishes a standing Roofing FAQ page that answers the permit question in one line, and the answer is no, a roof replacement needs no City permit. The same page insists in the next breath that the Indiana Residential Code and the shingle manufacturer's printed installation instructions still bind the work, and that failing to follow those instructions is itself a code violation. Code content is not a Westfield question at all: Indiana's Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission writes the residential code for the whole state, and IC 22-13-2-3(c) bars a city, town or county from adopting an ordinance that conflicts with it or is more stringent or more detailed.

• Hamilton County, Indiana - Hamilton County Plan Commission (Planning Department)

  The building permit authority for one of the nine planning jurisdictions in Hamilton County, Indiana, north of Indianapolis. It is NOT the authority for the whole county, and getting that wrong is the expensive mistake here: the County says in its own words that "Hamilton County is made up of nine different planning jurisdictions" and that "The Hamilton County Plan Commission has jurisdiction over the areas of the County shown in blue on the map below." The other eight are Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield, and the towns of Arcadia, Atlanta, Cicero and Sheridan, each of which runs its own building and zoning office. Note that those eight areas are drawn on township lines and reach well beyond the corporate limits of the city or town they are named for, so a rural address is not automatically a County address. The Plan Commission's own building permit application offers three township boxes to tick, Noblesville, Wayne and White River, and its codified enabling section describes its area as the parts of the county that were not otherwise zoned in 1988. The thing to know before quoting a roof out here is that the County does not permit re-roofing at all. Its adopted fee ordinance says under the heading Permit Requirement that no fee or permit is required for normal maintenance and repair operations, and it names roofing first in the list. Code content is not a County question either. Indiana writes the residential code for the whole state and bars a city, town or county from adopting anything that conflicts with it or is more stringent or more detailed.

• Johnson County Department of Planning and Zoning - Building Department

  The building permitting authority for the unincorporated area of Johnson County, Indiana, working out of 86 W Court St in Franklin. Read its scope first: the Department of Planning and Zoning says in terms that it serves the UNINCORPORATED areas of the county, and property inside a city or town limit is not its to permit. The City of Franklin and the City of Greenwood each run their own building office, and the County's own contractor-listing page warns that other municipalities have their own requirements. What makes the County distinctive for a roofer is one line of its enacted Building Code: roofing and re-roofing are listed by name among the exceptions to the building permit requirement.

Iowa (4)

• City of Ames, Iowa - Inspections Division

  The City of Ames Inspections Division handles residential building permits and inspections, including roofing, for properties within Ames city limits in Story County, Iowa. Roofers pulling permits or checking local design criteria should contact this office directly.

• City of Des Moines, Iowa - Development Services Department, Permit and Development Center

  The permitting authority for the City of Des Moines, Iowa (Polk County), the state capital and largest city in Iowa. Unlike Minnesota, Iowa does NOT impose a uniform statewide building code on ordinary city residential permitting. Iowa Code § 103A.10(2) makes the State Building Code applicable only to state-owned buildings, to governmental subdivisions that opt in by ordinance, to state-funded construction, and as a backstop in cities over fifteen thousand population that have NOT adopted a local building code substantially in accord with standards developed by a nationally recognized building code organization. Des Moines has adopted its own model-code-based building code by ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 26, Article III), so Des Moines enforces ITS OWN adopted code rather than the state default text. Roofing-code content in this record is therefore city-set, not state-set, and must not be generalized to other Iowa cities. Contractor registration, by contrast, IS a genuine statewide mandate under Iowa Code chapter 91C. The single most important practical fact for a roofer in Des Moines is that an ordinary re-roof requires no building permit at all -- unusual among the cities in this directory -- while any work touching the sheathing or the roof framing does.

• City of Iowa City, Iowa - Building Inspection Services

  The City of Iowa City, Iowa (Johnson County) runs its own residential building permitting through Building Inspection Services, part of the city's Neighborhood and Development Services department.

• City of Ottumwa, Iowa - Building and Code Enforcement

  The permitting authority for the City of Ottumwa, Iowa, the seat of Wapello County in the south-east of the state. Building and Code Enforcement issues building permits and conducts building and rental inspections. Ottumwa is the outlier of the Iowa cities in this group on the single question a roofer asks first: it has written re-roofing out of the permit requirement altogether. Read the permit entries below before assuming a permit is needed here.

Kansas (11)

• City of Basehor - Building and Safety Department

  The Building and Safety Department issues building permits in the City of Basehor, Kansas (Leavenworth County), from 1600 N. 158th Street. The City says roofing installations are to comply with its adopted 2018 International Residential Code with amendments. This listing covers the office's contact details, the Kansas roofing contractor registration rule and the local sales tax rate, and the code facts quoted below; it does not cover every local permit rule.

• City of Bonner Springs - Building Codes Department

  The City of Bonner Springs Building Codes Department issues building permits in the City of Bonner Springs, Kansas (Wyandotte, Leavenworth and Johnson counties), from 200 E 3rd Street. The city's Residential Construction page lists the International Residential Code, 2015 Edition as amended, as an adopted code. This listing covers the office's contact details, the Kansas roofing contractor registration rule and the local sales tax rate, and the code facts quoted below; it does not cover every local permit rule.

• City of Concordia - Building & Zoning

  The City of Concordia Building & Zoning office issues building permits in the City of Concordia, Kansas (Cloud County), from 701 Washington St. The city enforces the 2018 International Residential Code, adopted by reference in Section 6-203 of its city code. This listing covers the office's contact details, the Kansas roofing contractor registration rule and the local sales tax rate, and the code facts quoted below; it does not cover every local permit rule.

• City of Council Grove - City Clerk

  The City Clerk of the City of Council Grove issues building permits in the City of Council Grove, Kansas (Morris County), from 205 Union. The City Code says the City enforces the 2015 International Residential Code for one- and two-family dwellings, adopted by Ordinance No. 2236. This listing covers the office's contact details, the Kansas roofing contractor registration rule and the local sales tax rate, and the code facts quoted below; it does not cover every local permit rule.

• City of Lawrence Planning and Development Services, Building Safety Division

  The building permitting authority for the City of Lawrence, Kansas, in Douglas County. City Code Section 5-205 provides: "The building safety division of the planning and development services department shall be responsible for reviewing applications, reviewing construction documents and issuing permits for the erection, alteration, demolition, and moving of buildings and structures, inspecting the premises for which such permits have been issued, and enforcing compliance with the provisions of this article." Lawrence adopts the 2018 International Residential Code by Chapter 5, Article VI of its City Code (last adopting ordinance No. 9627), with its own administrative chapter in Article II in place of IRC Chapter 1. That administrative chapter lists "Replacement roof coverings" among the work exempt from permit, so an ordinary residential reroof needs no City permit. The City does license roofers itself: a Class D Roofing Contractor licence under Article XVII, on top of the Kansas Attorney General's roofing contractor registration certificate.

• City of Lindsborg - Community Development

  The City of Lindsborg Community Development office issues building permits in the City of Lindsborg, Kansas (McPherson County), from 101 S Main.

• City of Olathe - Building Codes Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Olathe, Kansas, the Johnson County seat in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The Building Codes team, part of the Community Development Division, reviews plans, issues building permits, and performs inspections for residential and commercial construction within city limits, and publishes roofing-specific guidance for residential reroofing.

• City of Shawnee - Building Codes Division

  The building permitting authority for the City of Shawnee, Kansas, a Johnson County suburb in the Kansas City metro area (a different jurisdiction from Shawnee County, the Topeka-area county already covered separately in this corpus).

The Land Use & Development Department administers the Shawnee County building code and permit procedure for unincorporated areas of the county.

Kentucky (3)

• City of Bowling Green Building Division

  The building permitting authority for the City of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Kentucky's residential code is mandatory and uniform statewide under 815 KAR 7:125, so the code content this record publishes is identical to every other Kentucky record; what varies here is the permit and contractor-licensing layer, which this record establishes from the City's own permit pages and the joint Bowling Green/Warren County Contractors Licensing Board. The City's own Info for Homeowners page lists "Replacing shingles" among the items for which a Building Permit may not be required, while its Info for Homeowners page separately states that alterations changing the structural form of a building require a Building Permit.

• Louisville Metro Office of Construction Review

  The building permitting authority for Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government, Kentucky's largest jurisdiction by population, administered through its Office of Construction Review inside the Department of Codes & Regulations. Kentucky operates a mandatory, uniform "mini/maxi" residential code, 815 KAR 7:125 (the 2015 International Residential Code as amended by the 2018 Kentucky Residential Code, Third Edition, August 2024), which no Kentucky local government, Louisville Metro included, may make stricter or more permissive; Louisville Metro's own Ordinance section 150.001 adopts that code and the Kentucky Building Code in full. Only the permit and inspection layer is a local choice, since Kentucky law leaves the single-family permit program to each local government to enact or not. Louisville Metro's own reroofing guidance draws that line at structural work: an ordinary reroof needs no permit, but replacing the roof deck or rafters does. Louisville Metro also runs its own contractor-licensing scheme (Building Type A and B) independent of any state credential, since Kentucky licenses no roofing trade at all.

• Planning and Development Services of Kenton County (PDS) — Building Codes Administration

  A joint city-county agency that administers the Kentucky Building Code's "Local Projects" function — plan review, permit issuance, field inspections, and certificate-of-occupancy issuance — for unincorporated Kenton County and 17 of its 19 cities, under interlocal agreements dated 2004 through 2022. PDS's own published matrix of statutory and interlocal responsibilities (as of 03/01/2025), read as a rendered image because its cell shading does not survive text extraction, was the source used to establish this territory rather than any secondary account: Edgewood, Fort Mitchell, Fort Wright, Taylor Mill, Crestview Hills, Crescent Springs, Ryland Heights, Lakeside Park, Park Hills, Covington, Kenton Vale, Ludlow, Villa Hills, Elsmere, Bromley, Fairview and Erlanger, plus unincorporated Kenton County, are marked "Service Provided" for Kentucky Building Code Local Projects. Two named jurisdictions on the same matrix are NOT: Independence is marked "No Service Provided" for Local Projects specifically (PDS retains Independence's State Projects, HVAC and Local Appeals Board functions, marked "Service Provided", but not the local building-permit function that reaches an ordinary house), and the Walton/Kenton Co line is marked "No Service Provided" across every Kentucky Building Code column. This record therefore does NOT cover Independence or the Kenton County portion of Walton; each would need its own building-permit issuer identified before a record is written for it. Kentucky's residential code is a mandatory, uniform, statewide "mini maxi" code under 815 KAR 7:125 that no Kentucky local government may vary in either direction, so the code-content fields below are identical to every other Kentucky record; only the permit and registration fields are specific to PDS's own territory and its own published rules.

• Charter Township of Holland - Building

  Holland Charter Township's Building department, at the township offices at 353 North 120th Avenue, issues building permits in the township and inspects the work. It lists "replacement of roof shingles ONLY (no structural work)" among items that may not require a permit. Michigan applies one residential code statewide, so the roofing rules below are state law; the township enforces them and sets its own permit fees.

• Charter Township of Lyon - Building Department

  The Charter Township of Lyon's Building Department, at 58000 Grand River Avenue in New Hudson, issues building permits and inspects construction in the township, and since May 8, 2025 it says it no longer requires permits for roofing unless the work includes framing or structural repairs. LARA's Statewide Jurisdiction List names the Charter Township of Lyon as its own building code enforcer. Michigan applies one residential code statewide, the 2015 Michigan Residential Code, so the roofing rules below are state law that the township enforces.

• Charter Township of Saginaw - Building Department

  The Building Department of the Charter Township of Saginaw, part of the Community Development Department at 4980 Shattuck Road, issues building permits in the township and inspects the work; it says a shingle tear-off and replacement needs no permit unless structure or the wood underneath is replaced. Michigan applies one residential code statewide, so the roofing rules below are state law; the township enforces them and sets its own permit fees.

• Charter Township of South Haven - Building Department (Michigan Township Services)

  South Haven Charter Township in Van Buren County has its building permits, plan review and inspections handled by Michigan Township Services of Allegan, which the township's notice to the public names as its Building Department; the township hall is at 09761 Blue Star Memorial Highway in South Haven, and zoning permits go through the township's zoning administrator. The City of South Haven is a separate municipality. Michigan applies one residential code statewide, and for houses that is the 2015 Michigan Residential Code.

• Charter Township of Superior - Building Department

  The Building Department of the Charter Township of Superior, at the Township Hall at 3040 North Prospect, issues building and trade permits in the township and inspects the work; its FAQ says roofing needs no permit where no structural replacement is required.

• City of Alma - Building Permits (Planning & Zoning)

  The City of Alma issues building, zoning, sign and public works permits from the Municipal Building at 525 E. Superior Street; it says re-roofing needs no permit when only the surface is replaced. Electrical, plumbing and HVAC permits in Alma come from the State of Michigan. Michigan applies one residential code statewide, so the roofing rules below are state law; the city enforces them and sets its own permit fees.

• City of Ann Arbor - Building and Construction Services

  The City of Ann Arbor's Building and Construction Services, at City Hall, 301 E. Huron Street, issues building and trade permits for work inside the City and inspects it; the office is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and takes every permit application through its STREAM online system. Michigan's one statewide construction code applies in Ann Arbor, and the City enforces it itself.

• City of Frankenmuth - Construction Codes Group

  The City of Frankenmuth's building permits are issued through the Construction Codes Group, an authority formed by the City of Frankenmuth, Frankenmuth Township, Blumfield Township and Tuscola Township, at the City and Township Government Center, 240 W. Genesee Street, which provides building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permit review and inspection for its members. Section 8.15 of the City's Code designates the City's building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing officials as the enforcing agency, and the State of Michigan's jurisdiction list names the City as its own building code enforcer. Michigan's single state construction code applies, and for houses that is the 2015 Michigan Residential Code.

• City of Greenville - Building Department (Imperial Municipal Services)

  The City of Greenville is its own building code enforcing agency under Section 8-81 of its Code of Ordinances, and its Building Department page says "All building applications, fees and inspections are handled by Imperial Municipal Services" (IMS), whose office is at 263 Northland Drive in Rockford; City Hall is at 411 S. Lafayette Street. IMS issues only building permits for the city, and electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits come from Montcalm County. Michigan's single state construction code applies, and for houses that is the 2015 Michigan Residential Code.

• City of Ludington - Building Department

  The City of Ludington's Building Department, at 400 S. Harrison Street, provides plan review, permit issuance and inspections on construction within the city limits. Its Permit Applications page says the city does not require building permits for "roof shingles" and refers electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits to the Mason County Building/Zoning Department. Section 6-26 of the City Code elects the State Construction Code, and the State of Michigan's jurisdiction list names the city as its own building code enforcer. Michigan's single state construction code applies, and for houses that is the 2015 Michigan Residential Code.

• City of Montague - Building Inspection Department (White Lake Area Building Inspection Board)

  The City of Montague's Building Inspection Department, at Montague City Hall, 8778 Ferry Street, is the office of the White Lake Area Building Inspection Board, which the city runs with Montague Township and Whitehall Township; a Building Official issues building permits and inspects, and separate electrical, mechanical and plumbing inspectors cover those trades. Section 18-31 of the city's Code of Ordinances says "The city enforces the state construction code.", and the State of Michigan's jurisdiction list names the city as its own building code enforcer. Michigan's single state construction code applies, and for houses that is the 2015 Michigan Residential Code.

• Township of Aurelius - Building Department

  The Township of Aurelius, in Ingham County, takes building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permit applications at its township office at 1939 S. Aurelius Road in Mason, and its Building, Planning, & Zoning page lists a building inspector and electrical, mechanical, plumbing and site inspectors.

Missouri (8)

• City of Blue Springs - Community Development Department (Codes Administration Division)

  The permitting authority for the City of Blue Springs. The Community Development Department's Codes Administration Division issues building permits and performs inspections; ordinary roof-covering replacement is permit-exempt, with a permit required only when structural roof decking is replaced.

• City of Florissant, Missouri - Department of Public Works (Building Department)

  The permitting authority for the City of Florissant, Missouri (St. Louis County). Florissant SELF-ADMINISTERS its own building permitting: the Building Department, a division of the Public Works Department, issues construction permits (plumbing, electrical, mechanical, building) directly. The city's official Permits page states: "Building Department: Construction Permit (Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, Building)." All applications are submitted via the city's self-service portal at my.florissantmo.com. NOT a St. Louis County delegation -- corroborated by omission from St. Louis County's own "Municipal Contract Agreements" matrix (revised April 6, 2026, https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/transportation-and-public-works/publications-and-manuals/matrix-information/municipality-contracts/), which runs alphabetically from Ballwin through Woodson Terrace and jumps directly from "Flordell Hills" to "Frontenac" with NO Florissant entry at all -- unlike genuinely-uncontracted municipalities such as Flordell Hills, which still appear on the list explicitly stating what they are NOT contracted for. Florissant's total absence from a matrix that otherwise covers effectively every other St. Louis County municipality is consistent with Florissant self-administering ALL code enforcement itself, with no County contract on file at all.

• City of Kansas City, Missouri - City Planning & Development Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Kansas City, Missouri (principal county Jackson; the city also extends into Clay, Platte, and Cass counties). City Planning & Development's Permits Division issues residential and commercial building permits, including re-roofing permits where required, and its Contractor Licensing team administers business license and trade Certificate of Qualification requirements through the CompassKC online permitting system.

• City of O'Fallon, Missouri - Building Division

  The permitting authority for the City of O'Fallon, Missouri (St. Charles County). NOTE: this is O'Fallon, MISSOURI, distinct from the similarly-named and similarly-sized O'Fallon, Illinois (St. Clair County) ~20 miles east. The Building Division, within Community Development, publishes residential re-roofing guidance stating ordinary asphalt-shingle re-covering/replacement does not require a permit, though all work must meet the adopted code.

• City of St. Louis, Missouri - Building Division

  The permitting authority for the City of St. Louis, Missouri, an INDEPENDENT CITY not part of St. Louis County. The Building Division, within the Department of Public Safety, issues building, roofing, and other construction permits and performs inspections for permitted work.

• City of St. Peters, Missouri - Building Department

  The permitting authority for the City of St. Peters, Missouri (St. Charles County). The Building Department publishes a Residential Re-Roofing Requirements guide and administers the city's adopted 2021 International Residential Code (Chapter 504 of the Municipal Code).

• Jackson County - Public Works (Construction Permits)

  The permitting authority for unincorporated Jackson County, Missouri (home to incorporated cities such as Independence, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, and Grain Valley, which run their own municipal permitting). Public Works issues building permits under Chapter 54 of the Jackson County Code.

• St. Louis County, Missouri Department of Transportation and Public Works - Building Permit Section (permitting authority for the City of Chesterfield, Missouri, by contract)

  The City of Chesterfield, Missouri (St. Louis County) does NOT run its own building department, as two independent official sources confirm. (1) Chesterfield's own Municipal Code, Chapter 500 Section 500.020 ("Agreement With St. Louis County"): "The City of Chesterfield, Missouri, is hereby authorized and directed to execute and enter into a contract on behalf of the City with St. Louis County, Missouri, for technical code enforcement services." (2) St. Louis County's own "Municipal Contract Agreements" matrix (revised April 6, 2026) states explicitly: "Chesterfield is contracted with St. Louis County for Building Code, Residential Code, Existing Building Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Explosives Ordinance, Fire Suppression Systems, Elevators and Conveying Systems, Amusement Rides, Periodic Inspections of Mechanical Equipment. Chesterfield is contracted with St. Louis County for Residential Occupancy Permits for first time home buyers only. Chesterfield is not contracted with St. Louis County for the Property Maintenance Code, Land Disturbances, Sewer Lateral Repair Program (SLRP)." Roofing permits fall under the Residential Code, which IS contracted out -- so St. Louis County's Department of Transportation and Public Works, Building Permit Section is the real permitting/inspection authority for Chesterfield roofing work. Chesterfield's own Planning Department retains a separate, prerequisite step: Municipal Zoning Approval (MZA), required before the County will issue the permit (per Chesterfield's Building Permits page navigation, which lists "Municipal Zoning Approval (MZA)" as a form).

Nebraska (9)

• City of Chadron - Building and Zoning

  The permitting authority for the City of Chadron, the Dawes County seat in the far northwest corner of Nebraska and home to Chadron State College. The City runs its own Building and Zoning function inside Community Development at 234 Main Street, with a named Building and Zoning Official, and it publishes its whole ordinance code as article-by-article files on its own website rather than through a code vendor. Chadron is one of the small number of jurisdictions in this corpus where the building department says in its own words that roofing does not need a permit, and it says so on the same page that sets out what does. That makes it a short conversation for a reroofer and a longer one for anyone whose job turns structural, because the City has adopted the 2018 International Residential Code in full apart from two fire-sprinkler sections and enforces a certificate of occupancy regime with a water-shutoff sanction behind it.

• City of Columbus, NE - Community Development Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Columbus, Nebraska, the seat of Platte County. Community Development houses the Building Department and, in the department's own words, "administers, enforces, and regulates the building, zoning, and construction laws within the city limits of Columbus and the two-mile extra territorial area surrounding the city" - so a job outside the city limits can still be inside its reach. The one thing a roofer needs to know here is that the City lists shingling among the work that may be done without a building permit, while a repair that involves structural members needs one.

• City of Lincoln - Building & Safety Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Lincoln, part of Lincoln's Planning & Development Services. Building & Safety issues building and trade permits and performs inspections for both the City of Lincoln and Lancaster County, which operates no separate county building department (see the paired Lancaster County, Nebraska record). Ordinary re-roofing over solid sheathing is permit-exempt; a permit is required only for rot damage or sheathing-overlay work.

• City of Nebraska City - Building & Zoning

  The permitting authority for the City of Nebraska City, the Otoe County seat on the Missouri River in southeast Nebraska and the home of Arbor Day. The City runs its own Building & Zoning function out of City Hall at 1409 Central Avenue, with a building official, a zoning administrator and a building inspector, and it administers building permits for the city and for the surrounding area through a joint Nebraska City and Otoe County building permit application. Nebraska City is one of the few jurisdictions in this corpus where a re-roof is expressly exempt from permit: the City has amended both the residential and the commercial exempt-work lists in its own Municipal Code to exempt "Shingling and residing", and its own Building & Zoning page repeats the exemption. That does not make the work unregulated - the exemption clause itself says so - and Nebraska state contractor registration still applies.

• City of North Platte - Building & Inspection Department

  The permitting authority for the City of North Platte, the county seat of Lincoln County in west-central Nebraska. Building & Inspection runs its own Building Official, two building inspectors and a permit clerk from City Hall at 211 W 3rd Street, with the department entrance on Sycamore Street. The unusual thing for a roofer is that the department's own published permit list names shingles as work that does not require a permit, while remodels and repairs generally do. In January 2026 the City Council amended the residential climatic-criteria table so that ice barrier underlayment is now required, a change the department says local contractors asked for.

• City of Wahoo - Building and Inspection

  The permitting authority for the City of Wahoo, the Saunders County seat about thirty miles northwest of Omaha. The City runs its own Building and Inspection department and its jurisdiction reaches the city limits plus a one-mile extraterritorial ring. Wahoo is worth reading carefully before a re-roof, because it draws the permit line in an unusual place and states it plainly on its own page: replacing the roof covering needs no building permit, while touching the roof structure - decking, trusses or the roof line - does. That is a line a crew can cross halfway through a tear-off, so it is a planning question rather than a paperwork question.

• Lancaster County - Building & Safety (City of Lincoln)

  Lancaster County, Nebraska operates no separate county building department. The county's own Forms & Permits page lists building permit, contractor account, and tradesperson registration forms that all link to the City of Lincoln's Building & Safety Department, which serves both jurisdictions (see the paired City of Lincoln, Nebraska record). Ordinary re-roofing over solid sheathing is permit-exempt under the shared department's Re-Roof Policy.

• Saunders County Planning and Zoning - Building and Zoning Permits

  The permitting authority for unincorporated Saunders County, Nebraska - the farm and acreage country between Lincoln and Omaha that surrounds Wahoo, Ashland, Yutan and Ceresco. The County runs its own Planning and Zoning office with both a Zoning Administrator and a County Building Inspector, takes building permit applications on its own form, registers the contractors who work in its jurisdiction, and publishes a one-page sheet of the codes it has adopted together with a filled-in climatic and geographic design table. Two things make this a county worth reading carefully before a re-roof: the County exempts roofing from its building permit by name, as maintenance; and its published design table answers the ice barrier question with a plain YES. Incorporated towns inside the county - Wahoo and Ashland among them - run their own permitting, so confirm which authority a job falls under before applying.

• Village of Malcolm - Village Clerk

  The permitting authority for the Village of Malcolm, a small Lancaster County village northwest of Lincoln. Permits go through the Village Clerk at 137 East 2nd Street, with plans reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Village Board. Malcolm is worth more to a roofer than its size suggests, because the Village Board has adopted a one-page policy memorandum that deals with re-roofing and nothing else. That memorandum settles three things most jurisdictions this size leave open: it confirms the Village Code exempts roofing from permit, it defines what "roofing" means for that exemption, and it imposes a Village requirement for underlayment, ice and water shield and flashing that applies to every roofing project regardless of the exemption. It also records that Malcolm has adopted the building codes of the City of Lincoln by reference rather than writing its own.

The Town's Inspections Department processes applications, performs plan review, collects fees and issues permits for construction regulated under the North Carolina General Statutes, and inspects that work, for the areas inside the Town's city limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), in both the Wake County and Franklin County parts of town.

• Union County - Building Code Enforcement

  Union County Building Code Enforcement, at the County Government Center in Monroe, issues building and trade permits and performs code inspections. The County states it "has authority for issuing building permits in all parts of the county, except for Monroe and Waxhaw", so it serves unincorporated Union County and the towns and villages of Fairview, Hemby Bridge, Indian Trail, Lake Park, Marshville, Marvin, Mineral Springs, Stallings, Unionville, Weddington, Wesley Chapel and Wingate. The City of Monroe and the Town of Waxhaw issue their own building permits.

• Wake County - Permits and Inspections

  Wake County Permits and Inspections issues building permits and performs inspections for the unincorporated areas of Wake County, North Carolina, and by contract provides inspection services for the towns of Knightdale, Rolesville, Wendell and Zebulon (residents of those towns apply through their town). Raleigh, Cary and the other Wake County municipalities not on that list run their own permitting.

• Wilkes County - Building Inspections (Inspections Department)

  The Wilkes County Inspections Department, in the County Office Building at 110 North Street in Wilkesboro, issues residential, commercial and modular building permits and manufactured home permits, reviews plans, and conducts building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire inspections for Wilkes County. The County directs property owners in the Town of North Wilkesboro to the Town's own building inspector, and owners inside the Town of Wilkesboro or the Town of North Wilkesboro, or within one mile of either, to that Town for zoning.

North Dakota (8)

• City of Bismarck, North Dakota - Building Inspections Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Bismarck, North Dakota - the state capital, its second-largest city and the seat of Burleigh County. The Building Inspections Department administers the adopted codes both inside the city and across the Bismarck extra-territorial area, handling permitting, plan review, inspections, floodplain management, mechanical contractor licensing and addressing. North Dakota imposes no building code on a jurisdiction that has not elected to enforce one, and a jurisdiction that does elect may amend the state code to conform to local needs, so a Bismarck roofing answer has to come from Bismarck's own ordinance rather than from state law - and Bismarck's ordinance is unusually detailed, carrying more than thirty pages of local amendments. The distinctive fact for roofers is that Bismarck names reroofing as work exempt from permit, so an ordinary re-cover or tear-off is done without a city permit and without a city inspection, while the adopted code's substantive roofing rules still apply in full.

• City of Bottineau, North Dakota - Building Inspector

  The permitting authority for Bottineau, North Dakota, the seat of Bottineau County and the gateway town to the Turtle Mountains. The City runs its own Building Inspector, overseen by the Planning Commission, and publishes its whole codified ordinance as per-chapter PDFs. THE SINGLE MOST USEFUL THING FOR A ROOFER IS THAT BOTTINEAU'S BUILDING-PERMIT TRIGGER NAMES TWO THINGS AND A PLAIN RE-ROOF IS NEITHER OF THEM. Chapter XV, Section 15.0205 requires a permit only where work enlarges a building's or roof's capacity, or is a structural change - not for an ordinary tear-off and re-cover. The Zoning Ordinance's own permit trigger, at Section 6.0702, uses the same erect-or-structurally-alter language. Bottineau also floats its adopted code to the current North Dakota State Building Code and requires every contractor working in the City to carry a license, which its own ordinance ties to a stop order and a referral for non-compliance.

• City of Casselton, North Dakota - Building Permits

  The permitting authority for the City of Casselton, North Dakota, the Cass County seat immediately west of Fargo along Interstate 94. The City Auditor's Office issues building permits and collects payment; plan review and inspections are contracted to Midwest Inspection Services of Mapleton. Casselton is unusual for a small North Dakota city in publishing its own dedicated Building Code ordinance (No. 329), which names the 2021 International Residential Code by edition, amends it in a numbered list that never reaches the roof-assemblies chapter, and prints the City's own filled-in climatic and geographic design table (ground snow load 50, 115 mph wind design speed, an affirmative ice-barrier requirement). The single most useful thing for a roofer: both the City's own Building Permit FAQ and Ordinance No. 329's own amendment to Section R105.2 list reroofing as exempt from a building permit outright.

• City of Fargo, North Dakota - Inspections Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Fargo, North Dakota (Cass County), the state's largest city and the North Dakota half of the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. North Dakota does not impose a building code on every municipality; under NDCC 54-21.3-03 a city that elects to administer and enforce a building code must adopt the North Dakota State Building Code as its base, but may amend that code "to conform to local needs." Fargo is such an electing city - it operates an Inspections Department and carries the International Building Code as Chapter 21 and the International Residential Code as a separate Chapter 21.1 of the Fargo Municipal Code. Fargo's distinctive feature for roofing is that it regulates re-roofing chiefly through contractor licensing (Fargo Municipal Code Article 25-37, Re-Roofing Contractors) rather than through a residential re-shingling permit.

• City of Hazen, North Dakota - Building Inspector

  The permitting authority for Hazen, North Dakota, a Mercer County city in the lignite and power-plant country north-west of Bismarck, and Beulah's near neighbour. Hazen runs its own Building Inspector and publishes its whole codified ordinance as per-chapter PDFs, which is why this record can be unusually specific. THE SINGLE MOST USEFUL THING FOR A ROOFER IS THAT HAZEN'S PERMIT LIST IS A CLOSED LIST AND A RE-ROOF IS NOT ON IT. Chapter VIII names the work that needs a permit, and it defines remodeling in a way that excludes a renovation which does not change the use of a space - so an ordinary tear-off and re-cover is outside the list, while structural work is caught by the Zoning Ordinance from the other direction. Both provisions are set out in full below, because the distinction is where the money is. Hazen is also one of the few cities of its size with its own steel-building standards, and its Zoning Ordinance controls what an accessory building's roof may look like.

• City of Kindred, North Dakota - Building Permits

  The permitting authority for Kindred, North Dakota, a Cass County city south-west of Fargo. Kindred is one of the most useful small-city records in this directory for a roofer, for three reasons. First, THE CITY SAYS IN TERMS THAT RE-SHINGLING NEEDS NO PERMIT - it is on a short list of work the City publishes as exempt, alongside re-siding and painting. Second, Kindred does not run on the current North Dakota State Building Code: it adopted the 2009 International Residential Code by named edition in 2011 and has amended it heavily, so the rules here are not the rules in the next town. Third, and unusually, two of those amendments are ROOFING amendments - the City rewrote the asphalt-shingle fastener section and deleted the hail-exposure figure, and it deleted the reroofing section from the body of the code and relocated it to an appendix. Permits and inspections are administered under contract by Midwest Inspection Services, so the paperwork goes to two places.

• City of Minot, North Dakota - Inspection Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Minot, North Dakota, in Ward County. The City of Minot Inspection Division reviews plans, issues building permits and inspects construction inside the city limits and within the extraterritorial jurisdiction in which Minot has asserted its zoning powers under NDCC 40-47-01.1. North Dakota imposes no building code on a municipality that has not elected to enforce one; Minot is an electing city and carries the 2024 International Residential Code, as amended by the State of North Dakota, at Section 9-5 of the City of Minot Code of Ordinances. The one thing a roofer most needs to know about Minot is that the City has written re-roofing into its own permit-exemption list, so an ordinary reroof is not permitted work here.

• Williams County, North Dakota - Building Division

  The permitting authority for the parts of Williams County, North Dakota that lie outside a city's limits - the oil-patch county whose seat is Williston. Its Building Division sits inside Development Services at the County Administration Building on East Broadway and states its own remit plainly: to safeguard public safety "through the enforcement of the North Dakota State Building Code by performing plan reviews, issuing building permits, and conducting building and fire inspections." It also assigns addresses to parcels outside a city's jurisdiction. The single most important thing a roofer needs to know here is that WILLIAMS COUNTY EXEMPTS RE-ROOFING FROM ITS BUILDING PERMIT BY NAME, rather than leaving a roofer to infer it from a general rule about altering or repairing a building - and the exemption has limits, which are set out in the permit fields below. The County also enforces the International Fire Code, which it adopted separately from the state code, and it runs its own building AND fire inspection lines.

Ohio (5)

• City of Bexley - Building and Zoning Department

  The City of Bexley Building and Zoning Department, at Bexley City Hall, 2242 E. Main Street in Bexley (Franklin County), issues building permits and approves and inspects residential and commercial construction in the city. Its "What Review Does My Project Need?" table lists "Roof (non-slate/shake)" and "Slate/Shake Roof" with "No" under "Permit Needed?", although both still go through the city's design review. The Residential Code of Ohio applies to one-, two- and three-family dwellings in Bexley as it does statewide. This listing covers the office's contact details, its roofing permit rule where the office's own page states one, and the rules state law sets for every Ohio jurisdiction; it does not cover Bexley's own codified building ordinances.

• City of Cincinnati, Ohio - Department of Buildings & Inspections

  The permitting authority for the City of Cincinnati, Ohio (Hamilton County). Cincinnati operates a state-certified local building department that administers permits, fees and inspections under the Residential Code of Ohio (RCO); the technical roof-covering content of that code is set by the state Board of Building Standards and is uniform statewide (Ohio Rev. Code 3781.11), so Cincinnati's own levers are permit administration, contractor registration, fees, and historic-district review rather than code content. Notably, Cincinnati exempts ordinary residential re-roofing from the building-permit requirement altogether - see repair_permit_threshold.

• City of Dayton, Ohio - Division of Building Inspection

  The permitting authority for the City of Dayton, Ohio (Montgomery County). Dayton's Division of Building Inspection sits within the city's Department of Economic Development and operates a state-certified local building department that administers permits, fees, and inspections. Dayton enforces the statewide 2019 Residential Code of Ohio (RCO), which the state Board of Building Standards adopts under Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 3781; its codified building chapter (Code of Ordinances, Title XV, Chapter 153, read in full) still names the 1999 Ohio Residential Code for One, Two, and Three Family Dwellings (see adopted_code). Chapter 153's own additions are administrative and appeals provisions, not roof-covering technical content, so Dayton's own levers are permit administration, contractor registration (limited to a handful of specialty trades), fees, historic-district review, and inspection scheduling rather than code content. Notably, Dayton exempts a simple shingle-only re-roof from the building-permit requirement altogether - see repair_permit_threshold.

• City of Lakewood - Division of Housing and Building

  The City of Lakewood Division of Housing and Building, at Lakewood City Hall, 12650 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood (Cuyahoga County), issues building permits and inspects structures in the city. Its Permit Requirements guide lists "Roofing Residential (re-roof, no structural changes)" among the projects for which no permit is required, and the department's page states that "All contractors working within the city are required to register annually." The Residential Code of Ohio applies to one-, two- and three-family dwellings in Lakewood as it does statewide. This listing covers the office's contact details, its roofing permit rule where the office's own page states one, and the rules state law sets for every Ohio jurisdiction; it does not cover Lakewood's own codified building ordinances.

• Miami County - Department of Development, Building Regulations

  The Miami County Department of Development's Building Regulations office, at 1506 One Stop Court, Suite 6 in Troy, issues residential building permits for the areas its Areas of Jurisdiction table marks for residential work: the cities and villages of Bradford, Casstown, Covington, Fletcher, Piqua, Pleasant Hill, Tipp City, Troy and West Milton and the townships of Bethel, Brown, Concord, Elizabeth, Lostcreek, Monroe, Newberry, Newton, Springcreek, Staunton, Union and Washington, but not Laura, Ludlow Falls or Potsdam; the City of Troy's own page says "A Building Permit is issued by the Miami County Building Department". Its Roof Covering Policy for Shingle Roofs states "No permit is required for tear-offs and re-roofs that don't involve structural repairs", while structural changes such as replacing rotted roof rafters need a permit for their inspection. The Residential Code of Ohio applies to one-, two- and three-family dwellings in the areas it serves as it does statewide. This listing covers the office's contact details, its roofing permit rule where the office's own page states one, and the rules state law sets for every Ohio jurisdiction; it does not cover any jurisdiction's own codified building ordinances.

Oklahoma (5)

• City of Edmond Department of Building & Safety

  The City of Edmond's Department of Building & Safety administers construction permitting, plan review, contractor/trade licensing, and code enforcement within Edmond, Oklahoma. The department does not require a permit for replacing or repairing existing residential roof coverings and does not inspect new roof coverings or re-roofing of residential structures, though the adopted building code's roofing provisions remain in effect regardless.

• City of Mustang - Community Development Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Mustang in Canadian County. The Community Development Department administers building permits, plan review, inspections, and contractor/business licensing citywide. The department's own Roofing Codes page states that re-roofing and re-decking of homes requires no permit and no license, while directing that such work follow the 2018 IBC.

• City of Norman Development Services Division

  The City of Norman's Development Services Division (Building Permits and Inspections) provides plan review, permitting, contractor/trade licensing, and inspections for construction within Norman, Oklahoma. The division does not require a permit for roofing work, though the work must still comply with the city's adopted building codes, and roofing contractors performing work in Norman must be registered with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board.

• City of Sand Springs - Neighborhood Services Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Neighborhood Services issues building permits for new construction, additions, alterations, and demolition; ordinary roof repair and replacement is permit-exempt unless decking or other structural components are replaced. The department also registers electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors working within city limits.

• City of Sapulpa - Building Inspections Office

  The permitting authority for the City of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. The Building Inspections Office (within the Urban Development Department) issues building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits, registers electrical/mechanical/plumbing contractors' state licenses with the City, and performs construction inspections.

Other (1)

• City of Spearfish, South Dakota - Building Services Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Spearfish, South Dakota, in Lawrence County at the northern edge of the Black Hills, run by the Building Services Division of the city's Community Development Department. Its reach is wider than the city: the division states that it "is responsible for issuing building permits within city limits and the Joint Powers Area." Spearfish is the one jurisdiction in this South Dakota group that has written like-for-like roof covering replacement out of the permit requirement altogether, and the one that requires a city contractor licence naming roofing by name. Read those two entries together - the absence of a permit is not an absence of city involvement.

South Dakota (1)

• City of Box Elder, South Dakota - Planning and Zoning Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Box Elder, South Dakota, a two-county city on the eastern edge of Rapid City adjoining Ellsworth Air Force Base. South Dakota imposes no statewide residential building code: SDCL 11-10-12 lets a municipality enact residential requirements by adopting a named edition of the International Residential Code, and SDCL 11-10-6's statewide default expressly does not reach residential structures, so the rules here are city-set rather than inherited. Box Elder has adopted the 2018 IRC and 2018 IBC with amendments. Two things separate it from most records in this reference and both are unusual: the City has written like-for-like roof covering replacement out of the building permit requirement, and it licenses its own contractors by name, roofing included.

Tennessee (6)

• City of Johnson City Building Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Johnson City, Tennessee, which spans parts of Washington, Carter, and Sullivan counties.

• Memphis and Shelby County Office of Construction Code Enforcement (Division of Planning and Development)

It publishes a dedicated "Policy for Roof Installations" document, revised June 8, 2022, which sets out the county's re-roofing rules in plain Q&A form and is the controlling local statement on permits, decking, drip edge and ice barrier for roofing work. Memphis is in Shelby County. Construction-code enforcement for the City of Memphis is performed jointly with Shelby County by this consolidated office (branded develop901.com). Tennessee's State Residential Building Code Enforcement Program under T.C.A. 68-120-101 applies only in areas that have not received an exemption from the State Fire Marshal's Office by enforcing local building codes, and have not opted out by two-thirds vote of the local legislative body. Memphis/Shelby County falls in the first category: it enforces its own locally adopted codes, so it is exempt from state enforcement and applies its OWN adopted IRC edition (2021 IRC with local amendments), NOT the state's 2018 IRC baseline. Tennessee does not preempt local amendment of the residential code, so no state-level roof-covering provision may be assumed to apply here -- every roofing field in this record is sourced to the local Memphis/Shelby instrument rather than to state law.

For one- and two-family dwellings, roofing technical requirements in Green Bay are set entirely by the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC), Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 321, promulgated statewide by the Department of Safety and Professional Services; Wis. Stat. § 101.65(1c) bars a municipality from making or enforcing a dwelling ordinance that "does not conform to" the UDC, so Green Bay's own role is limited to permit administration, fees, inspections, and non-preempted overlays such as historic-district design review. Green Bay is notable for NOT requiring a building permit for ordinary one- and two-family re-roofing (see roofing_permit_required and repair_permit_threshold).

• City of Menasha, Wisconsin - Building Inspection Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Menasha, Wisconsin, which straddles Winnebago and Calumet counties. Building Inspection operates from City Hall at 100 Main Street, Suite 200, and issues permits through an online GovWell portal. For one- and two-family dwellings, technical roofing requirements are set by the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (Wis. Admin. Code chs. SPS 320-325), adopted into the City's own Code of Ordinances at Title 15, Article A. Menasha is notable among Wisconsin municipalities in this corpus for having exercised the municipal opt-in that Wis. Admin. Code SPS 320.05(1)'s note allows: the City's own ordinance extends the Uniform Dwelling Code's reach to additions and remodeling of existing one- and two-family homes built before June 1, 1980, not merely to newer construction (see roof_layer_limit and ice_water_shield_required). Menasha is also notable for NOT requiring a City building permit for an ordinary re-roof (see roofing_permit_required and repair_permit_threshold).

• City of Oak Creek, Wisconsin - Inspection Services Department

  The permitting authority for the City of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County. Inspection Services runs residential permitting and inspection from City Hall at 8040 South 6th Street, and it answers the roofing permit question in unusually plain terms on its own Residential Alteration page: a shingle tear-off and replacement needs no permit, a shingle overlay needs no permit if it stays at two layers or fewer, and a permit is required for any re-decking, structural change, or alteration to the roof line. That published answer matches the City's own codified Building Code, which defines replacement of roof coverings as a minor repair requiring no permit while requiring a permit for any alteration touching the structural members of a roof. Oak Creek is a Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code city rather than an International Residential Code city, so its roofing rules are Wisconsin's own text (Wis. Admin. Code SPS 320 to 325) rather than an IRC edition, adopted here by the City's own floating reference to the state code as amended from time to time.

• City of Waukesha, Wisconsin - Department of Community Development, Building Inspection Division

  The permitting authority for the City of Waukesha, Wisconsin, the county seat of Waukesha County. Building Inspection sits inside the Department of Community Development at City Hall and staffs a dedicated Residential One- and Two-Family Construction Permitting and Inspections role, so residential work is handled in house rather than by a contract inspection agency. Two things make Waukesha unusual for a roofer. First, the City publishes in its own fee schedule that re-roofing a one- or two-family dwelling with no structural changes needs no building permit at all, while the same work on a multi-family or commercial building does. Second, the City has an actual reroofing ordinance of its own, Municipal Code section 16.16, on top of the statewide Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code that governs one- and two-family roofing everywhere in the state.

• Village of Howard, Wisconsin - Building Inspection

  The permitting authority for the Village of Howard, Wisconsin, a Brown County village of about 20,500 on the northwest side of Green Bay. The Village runs its own Building Inspection function through the Department of Code Administration inside Community Development Services at 2456 Glendale Avenue, with a code enforcement officer and a building inspector named on its own department page. HOWARD IS THE OUTLIER IN THIS DIRECTORY AND THE REASON IS ONE LINE OF ORDINANCE: A REROOF ON A HOUSE HERE NEEDS NO BUILDING PERMIT AT ALL. The Village exempt-work section names siding and roofing repair or replacement on one- and two-family dwellings outright, with no dollar cap and no square-foot cap. WHAT DOES NOT FOLLOW FROM THAT IS THAT THE RULES DO NOT APPLY. The same section says exempt work must still comply with the code, and Howard has gone the other way on scope from most of Wisconsin: its adopting section excepts the state dwelling code own carve-outs for pre-1980 buildings and for repairs, by number, so the statewide roofing standards reach a Howard job whatever the age of the house. The practical effect is unusual and worth stating plainly - the standards apply, the inspection does not, and nobody from the Village is coming to check.
