Roofing permits & building code in Monett

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Monett are set locally by City of Monett Building and Zoning Department. 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 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN GUIDE. The City's Information Guide lists its "Current Adopted Building Codes" as including "2018 International Residential Code & all applicable Appendix" and "2018 Existing Building Code and all applicable Appendix," and its Common Questions handout says the City "currently uses the 2018 ICC Building Codes and the 2017 NEC." The City's adopted codes and ordinances, which the guide refers to for detail, were not read, so this record does not state whether the City has amended the IRC's roof provisions or which ordinance adopted these editions. Missouri law leaves building codes to local adoption: RSMo 67.280 provides that a community "may adopt or repeal an ordinance which incorporates by reference the provisions of any code."
Permit process
The City's Information Guide says the department's administrative duties include "Issue building permits and Floodplain Permits." Its Residential Permit Application lists "Re-roof" among the descriptions of work. The Common Questions handout's list of "Work Exempt from Permit" names "Window and siding replacement" and does not name roofing, and this record did not find a City statement that says in terms whether a re-roof requires a permit.
