Roofing permits & building code in Cicero
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Cicero are set locally by Town of Cicero Building 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.
- city_level: The Town's Building Permit Requirements page states: "New shingle roof of flat roof work must be performed by a licensed contractor." The page does not name the licence. Separately, Sec. 22-5(12) provides that flat roof work, "including but not limited to hot tar or rubber membrane, must be installed or performed by a contractor licensed and bonded to work in the town"; that sentence is limited to flat roofs.
