Roofing Permitting Authorities in Arkansas

Arkansas registers roofing contractors under a statute written for roofing alone — A.C.A. 17-25-601 et seq. has required a roofing contractor registration certificate from the Residential Contractors Committee since July 1, 2021, with a $15,000 surety bond, proof of workers’ compensation, and annual renewal, and there is no dollar threshold below which it stops applying, so a roofer is covered on any job while the general residential contractor tier expressly exempts roofing — and the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code is a floor a city may build on but not fall below, so local amendments only add requirements — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work. 12 permitting authorities in Arkansas, each linked to its own sourced record.
