Roofing Permitting Authorities in Kentucky

Kentucky issues no state roofing licence — the state Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as electricians, plumbers, boiler contractors and sprinkler and fire alarm contractors, and roofing is not among them — so any contractor licence a roofer needs is a city or county one, while the Kentucky Residential Code is the mandatory state residential code for homes built anywhere in Kentucky and a local government may not adopt or enforce any other building code for one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, though permits and inspections for a single-family house are required only where the local government has passed an ordinance requiring them — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work. 15 permitting authorities in Kentucky, each linked to its own sourced record.
