• Permits aren’t just bureaucratic red tape—they serve critical purposes:
• Code Compliance: Ensures the work meets building safety codes, protecting your home and its occupants.
• Insurance and Resale Value: An improperly installed roof without a permit may lead to denied claims or complications during a home sale.
• Legal Requirements: Avoid fines, penalties, or forced removal of the roof by staying compliant with local laws.

Most municipalities require a permit for:

• Full Roof Replacements: A new roof installation almost always requires a permit.
• Structural Modifications: Projects that involve altering the roof’s framework, such as adding skylights or changing the slope, mandate permits.
• Re-Roofing Over Old Material: Adding new shingles over an existing roof may require approval, depending on weight and safety factors.
