Roofing permits & building code in Montgomery

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Montgomery are set locally by Village of Montgomery Building Division. 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.

THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN CODES PAGE. The Village's Building Codes page says "The Village of Montgomery adopted the 2021 ICC Codes with local amendments" and lists "International Residential Code, 2021 Edition" with an Amendments link to a document titled Ordinance 2038, 2021 ICC Codes. That document is a scanned image without readable text, so this record did not read it and does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
