No — Sapulpa, OK does not require a permit for like-for-like roof replacement (City of Sapulpa - Building Inspections Office). The City's FAQ page states: "A building permit is required to repair or replace a roof if the decking beneath the roof or other structural components supporting the roof are replaced," and notes that "[b]uilding codes only allow one layer of shingles above the decking." Ordinary reroofs that do not replace decking or other structural components do not require a building permit under this policy. The residential Building Permit Application separately states "All trades: Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing shall require separate permits and inspections" and "All trades must be licensed with the State of Oklahoma and the City of Sapulpa" — language tied to those three trades, not roofing.
