Roofing permits & building code in Ferguson

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Ferguson are set locally by City of Ferguson - Code Compliance. Missouri has no statewide roofing or general-contractor license, so licensing and registration are handled at the local level — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.

Adopted building code
The Code Compliance department's construction permits page states: "The City of Ferguson follows the 2018 International Building Codes and the 2017 National Electric Code." It adds that "All projects must comply with International and Municipal codes." The section of the Municipal Code that adopts the residential code, and its local amendments, were not read, so the edition is stated here only as the department gives it, and whether the local amendments change anything in Chapter 9, Roof Assemblies, is not stated.
