No — Noblesville, IN does not require a permit for like-for-like roof replacement (City of Noblesville, Indiana - Department of Planning and Development, Building Division). Everything goes through the portal. The building division states that "All of the City's permit applications are submitted using our online permit portal," Civic Access, and that "All submitted documents must be reviewed and approved before any construction begins." The office is at 16 S 10th Street, Noblesville, open Monday to Friday 8am to 4:30pm on (317) 776-6325; the building commissioner is Daniel Sheposh. The fee schedule the City publishes on its Building and Inspections page is still the one effective September 1, 2019. For work that does need a permit, the City publishes a separate inspection packet per project type, and the residential ones are New Construction, Addition, Accessory Structure, Deck, Remodel and Swimming Pool -- there is no re-roofing packet. Inspections are requested online through the portal, by telephone for same-day, or by email for timed inspections only; next-day inspections must be booked by 4pm the day before, an inspection cannot be scheduled while fees are owed on the permit, and the permit card has to be posted in a front lower-level window visible from the street by the time of the first inspection. Two local rules a roofer should know about even though neither is a roofing code provision. Properties inside the Special Flood Hazard Area on the adopted Flood Insurance Rate Map are subject to limits on the improvements that can be made to the structure and may need elevation certificates, under Article 8 of the Unified Development Ordinance. And where a lot sits in a community that has Architectural Review Board standards -- the City's new-construction packet says an ARB Final inspection is "Only required if lot is part of a community that has ARB standards" -- the ARB design guidelines for detached single-family residences, adopted 08-16-2007, set a "Roof Pitch: Minimum 6/12 pitch" and, under the heading "Roof, Mechanical, Equipment Vents", provide that "Vents shall be attached to the roof opposite the primary architectural plane matching the roof color." Those are design standards for the dwelling rather than roofing-code provisions, but vent placement and colour on a re-roof in one of those communities is worth confirming with Planning before the job. The City's codified ordinances are published only on a vendor platform that does not serve them to this directory, so no Noblesville ordinance text is restated here.
