  • license: The city's roof-permit FAQ states "Roofing companies must be licensed by the State of Oklahoma."

Permit process
"The City of Sand Springs only requires a permit to repair or replace a roof if the decking beneath of the roof or other structural components supporting the roof are replaced." The FAQ further notes that building codes allow only one layer of shingles above the decking, so old roofing material must be removed before new material is installed.

Inspection requests may be made at any time by calling Neighborhood Services at 918-246-2572. Residential permit reviews typically take one to two weeks and commercial permit reviews typically take about 10 business days, depending on project complexity.
