Roofing permits & building code in Tinley Park

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Tinley Park are set locally by Village of Tinley 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 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE BUILDING DIVISION'S OWN PAGE; THE HOSTED ADOPTING TEXT IS THE EARLIER 2022 CODE ON THE 2021 IRC. Under "Village of Tinley Park Comprehensive Building Code," the Division's page reads "Revised and adopted July 20, 2026" and lists among its "Current Village Codes" the "Village of Tinley Park Building Codes 2022" and the "2024 International Residential Code for One and Two Family Dwelling including Appendix F." The adopting text the page links is the Building Code of the Village of Tinley Park (2022), which adopts the "International Residential Code (2021), including Appendix F Radon Control Methods" and amends its roof drainage section (R903.4) to require gutters and downspouts "When a building is provided with a basement, or crawl space." The July 20, 2026 revision and any amendments it makes to the 2024 IRC's roof provisions were not read for this record. The Village's Code of Ordinances is hosted off the Village's site and was not read.
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.
  • city_level: A VILLAGE CONTRACTOR LICENSE OR PROOF OF THE STATE LICENSE BEFORE ANY PERMIT. The Village's Contractor Licensing page says "All contractors doing work in the Village of Tinley Park must be licensed with the Village or State (proof of state licensed required) prior to starting work" and "Permits will not be issued unless all contractors noted on the permit are licensed," with licenses "valid from January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year." It lists "General - $200" and "Sub-Contractor -$100." The Building Permits page adds that "Current copies of the roofing and plumbing licenses must be submitted prior to the issuance of a permit."
Permit process
THE VILLAGE'S CURRENT PAGE AND ITS HOSTED 2022 CODE TEXT POINT DIFFERENT WAYS ON A RE-ROOF PERMIT. The Village's Building Permits page says "The Village of Tinley Park accepts online permit applications on BS&A Online" and, under "Contractors: Apply here for the following projects," lists "Roofing, Siding, HVAC/Furnace, Water Heater, Sewer Repair, Plumbing (does not required plan reviews)." It quotes the Village's Building Code: "A permit shall be obtained before beginning construction, alteration, or repair." The Building Code of the Village of Tinley Park (2022), as the Village hosts it, amends IRC Section R105.2 to read: "Reroofing for Single Family Detached structures are exempt from permit." The Division's page says the code was "Revised and adopted July 20, 2026"; that revision was not read for this record, so this record does not state whether a single-family re-roof needs a permit today. The Building Division's own page tells owners to "check with the Building Department at 708-444-5100 to make sure whether a permit is or is not required." The Village's Permit Fees page says "Permits are usually processed within 7-10 business days" and "Inspection fees are included in the permit cost."
