Roofing Permitting Authorities in Massachusetts

Massachusetts licenses roofing at the state level, requiring anyone who supervises work regulated by the State Building Code to hold a construction supervisor licence from the Board of Building Regulations and Standards, which issues a dedicated Roof Covering specialty licence, unless they are a homeowner working on the one- or two-family house they live in, and a contractor working on an existing owner-occupied home of one to four units must also register as a Home Improvement Contractor under M.G.L. c. 142A unless the project is under $500 or the contractor works part-time with less than $5,000 of such revenue in the previous year, while the licence rule leaves a city or town free to require its own licence for building categories the state licence does not cover, and the State Building Code, 780 CMR, is the code for all buildings in every city and town, a conflicting local bylaw yields to it unless the state board adopted the stricter rule for that city or town, and a historic-district bylaw on exterior features prevails over it — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work. 156 permitting authorities in Massachusetts, each linked to its own sourced record.
