Roofing permits & building code in Grandview

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Grandview are set locally by City of Grandview - Building Services Division. 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.

Contractor registration
Required
Adopted building code
Article II (Construction Codes) of Chapter 10 of the Grandview Code of Ordinances adopts the 2018 International Building Code, including Appendices B, C, E, F, G, I and J, and the 2018 International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, including Appendices A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, M, N, O, P and Q, together with all supplements published by the International Code Council.
Registration details
  • license: Grandview's Craftsmen's License, required of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC contractors, costs $50 per year (licenses run July 1 through June 30) and requires the contractor to hold a current license from a jurisdiction that requires an approved examination for the craft, or to show proof of an approved examination for the applicable craft; plumbing contractors must additionally post a $100 cash bond, refundable when business activity in the city ends. Roofing is not named among the crafts subject to this craftsman licensing requirement. Contractors generally (including roofing contractors) are otherwise subject to the city's $50/year contractor business license, which requires a certificate of insurance naming the City of Grandview (1200 Main Street, Grandview, MO 64030) as certificate holder, showing general liability limits and, if the contractor has employees, workers' compensation coverage.
Permit process
The Building Permits page states that permit applications are submitted through the city's online Permit Application Portal, that "Contractors are required to create an account prior to applying," and that "In order for the permit to be processed and issued in a timely manner, a contractor must obtain an Occupational License." Per section 6-10.3, "A single-family homeowner may apply for their own permits," though for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work the homeowner must furnish satisfactory evidence they intend to do the proposed work themselves.
