Roofing: Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Is a building permit required for Reroofing projects?
A: Yes.
Q: How long does it take to get a permit?
A: Permit issuance periods vary. Some projects can be fully permitted over-the-counter, meaning a return trip won’t be needed. Some projects, however, require that plans be left for additional review.
Q: How long is a permit good for?
A: A building permit is valid for 180 days after it is issued. In addition, a 180- day extension may be granted by the Building Official. In most cases, a permit will not be expired unless the applicant has failed to call for an inspection and show progress on the project for a 360 day period.
Q: What if I don’t get a permit?
A: If a permit, when needed, is not obtained before construction, you have violated city codes and regulations. You’ll be required to obtain permits for the work and expose all aspects of the work so that it can be inspected or you’ll have to return the structure or site to its original condition.
Q: How much do residential re-roofing permits cost?
A: This can depend on where you live, but generally around $35.00.
