Home / Roofing by City / Fremont, Nebraska

Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Fremont, NE, issued by City of Fremont - Department of Building Safety. Applications go to the building official at the Department of Building Safety, 400 E Military Ave, 2nd Floor. The City's own page states that anyone intending to "construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure ... must first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit," and that an application must identify and describe the work, describe the land, state the use and occupancy, carry the construction documents required by City codes, state the valuation of the proposed work and be signed by the applicant or an authorized agent. Roof work is filed on the City's General Building Permit Application, the form the City lists for "all other ancillary work." Its first project-description line reads "ROOF: Roofing Material ____ Location (Residence, Shed, Garage) ____ Including: Soffit Fascia Gutters," so the covering material and the scope of soffit, fascia and gutter work are declared on the face of the application, along with the total value of the proposed work including all materials and labor. The applicant certifies that "inspections requested as outlined on the front side of the yellow permit card," which is where the inspection stages for a given permit are listed. Inspections are scheduled through the Inspection Hotline at 402-727-2657 or by emailing [email protected] with the name and phone number, permit number and address, inspection type, and desired date and time. Work that a permit is required for and that starts before the permit issues draws an escalating penalty fee, and on a third offense the codified Fee Schedule provides that "A general contractor performing work without a permit will not be issued any building permits for six (6) months and must be reviewed by the Building Code Advisory and Appeals Board before reissuance of permits.".
