Roofing permits & building code in Minooka

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Minooka are set locally by Village of Minooka 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.

Contractor registration
Required
Adopted building code
THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH VILLAGE AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S BUILDING DEPARTMENT PAGE. Under "Adopted Codes (with Village amendments):" the page lists "International Residential Code (2018)," "International Building Code (2018)," "International Existing Building Code (2018)" and "Illinois Energy Conservation Code (2024)." The page does not set out the Village amendments, and this record did not read them, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
Registration details
  • state_level: Illinois licenses roofing contractors statewide with no dollar threshold. 225 ILCS 335/9(2): "No work involving the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of any kind of roofing or waterproofing may be done except by a roofing contractor or a qualifying party licensed or credentialed under this Act." Under 225 ILCS 335/5(a-3), "A municipality or a county that requires a building permit may not issue a building permit to a roofing contractor unless that contractor has provided sufficient proof of current licensure as a roofing contractor by the State," and a holder of a limited license is restricted to permits for work on residential properties of 8 units or less. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation lists "Roofing Contractor, Licensed" among the professions it licenses.
  • city_level: A VILLAGE REGISTRATION ON TOP OF THE STATE LICENSE. The Building Department page says "All trades and subcontractors must be registered with the Village before any permit can be issued."
Permit process
The Building Department page says that to apply for a building permit, request an inspection, or register as a contractor, applicants "log in to your OpenGov account." It says "Residential building permits may take up to seven (7) business days to issue," "All trades and subcontractors must be registered with the Village before any permit can be issued," and "Inspections require at least 24 hours' notice." The Village's Frequently Asked Questions page says "Residents need building permits to build sidewalks, driveways, decks, pools, fences, and any additions to the house such as a garage." Neither page names roof replacement, so this listing does not state a yes or no answer for a re-roof.
