Roofing in Campton Hills, Illinois

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Campton Hills, IL, issued by Village of Campton Hills Building and Zoning Department. A FULL TEAR-OFF ROOF REPLACEMENT REQUIRES A PERMIT; ADDING ONE LAYER OF ASPHALT SHINGLES DOES NOT. The fee schedule in the Village's Application for Building Permit lists, under "Roofing," "Full Tear-off Roof Replacement" at "Residential - $135.00," and lists adding a layer of asphalt shingles as "No permit required," an entry that states a "two layer" maximum "allowed on structure." The Village's amended Section R105.2 likewise exempts "Installation of one additional layer of asphalt shingles over an existing asphalt shingle roof covering where the existing roof covering is sound, the total number of roof coverings does not exceed two." The application asks for "Copies of Professional Licenses for Roofing and Plumbing" and "Copies of Insurance Certificates," and for a roofing contractor's license number.

THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH VILLAGE AMENDMENTS, PER ORDINANCE NO. 25-47 AS THE VILLAGE POSTS IT. The ordinance, passed and approved December 16, 2025 and in "full force and effect on February 1, 2026," replaces the Village's building-code chapter with a new Section 9-1-1 that adopts "International Residential Code (IRC) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2024 Edition, as published by the International Code Council, Inc." Section 9-1-11 sets out the Village's amendments to that code, including its own Table R301.2(1) entries and a new gutter rule: "All dwelling units shall have gutters installed at the eaves of sloped roofs." Section 9-1-5 says no structure shall be "altered, repaired" without a building permit "except as specifically exempted in the adopted codes as amended by this ordinance." The Village's Codes and Regulations page links the ordinance, and links the Village Code itself on a separate host that this record did not read.
