Roofing permits & building code in Richton Park

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

Contractor registration
Required
Adopted building code
THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN BUILDING AND CODE PAGE. Under "Village Codes," the page lists "2018 International Building Code, w/ local amendments," "2018 International Residential Code, w/ local amendments," "2018 International Energy Conservation Code, w/ State of Illinois amendments" and "2021 International Property Maintenance Code." The page does not give the adopting ordinance, and this listing did not read the Village's local amendments, 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.
Permit process
The Village's Building and Code page says "The Building Official receives applications, reviews construction documents for compliance to the zoning and building codes, and issues permits for the erection, alteration, and modification of buildings and properties," and links an online building permit application. The Village's Building Permit Process page says the code official will ask "What are you planning to do? Where are you planning to do it?" and then "You will then receive an application for a building permit," and that "If your plans meet these requirements, a permit is issued." Neither page names roof replacement in terms, so this listing does not state a yes or no answer for a re-roof.
