Roofing permits & building code in Bloomingdale

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Bloomingdale are set locally by Village of Bloomingdale Building & Zoning Department. Illinois licenses roofing contractors at the state level: under the Roofing Industry Licensing Act (225 ILCS 335) no roofing work may be done except by a state-licensed roofing contractor or qualifying party, with a limited license for residential properties of 8 units or less and an unlimited license for everything else, and a city or county that requires a building permit may not issue one to a roofing contractor without proof of current state licensure, while some cities add their own contractor registration on top — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.

THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, AS AMENDED AND ADOPTED BY VILLAGE ORDINANCE NO. 2025-49, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN BUILDING CODES SHEET. The sheet, linked from the Department's Codes, Construction Standards & Building Permit Handouts page, lists "INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE (2024 EDITION); as amended and adopted by Village of Bloomingdale Ordinance No. 2025-49," and lists the State of Illinois Energy Conservation Code (2024 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code) as adopted by the same ordinance. The Department's residential roofing sheet, an older document, still says "Installation shall comply with the 2018 International Residential Code as amended and adopted by the Village Code Title 10, Chapter 3"; the Building Codes sheet names the later edition. This record did not read Ordinance No. 2025-49 or Title 10 of the Village Code, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
