Roofing permits & building code in Ozark

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Ozark are set locally by City of Ozark Building 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 ICC BUILDING CODES, PER THE CITY'S OWN PERMITS PAGE. The City's Permits & Licenses page says "The City of Ozark currently adopts the 2018 ICC Building Codes and the 2017 NEC (National Electrical Code)" and that "To see any exceptions or changes to the code, visit Title V of the City Code." Title V is hosted on a code publisher's site that this record did not read, so it does not state whether the City has amended the roof provisions of the residential code 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."
