Do I Really Need a Roofing Permit to Reroof My Home or Business?

Should the homeowner or the contractor pull your building permit for roofing? Your contractor should.  Every time. Will every contractor in DFW/Houston pull a permit? Unlikely. Pulling a permit for roofing protects the property owner.

Of course, anyone can reroof your home without a building permit. What about when your nosey neighbor who you’ve had a feud with about his yapping dog for 4ys.  Do you think hes going to notify code enforcement?  What about when a city inspector happens to drive by from his last stop or inspection, sees the work going on, and stops to confirm a permit was pulled for the roofing work is posted onsite, and there’s no permit to be found?

In Houston, they will halt all work with a fine until the proper paperwork is filed.

And how about if a building inspector does happen by right at the time your old roof has been removed? Your property is left uncovered and unprotected until that permit is pulled.

Reroofing without a permit is also a building code violation in many parts, and very likely that any manufacturers warranty would be void and non-transferable since a permit wasn’t pulled..

Pulling a roofing permit ensures, at least in most cases, that your project will be addressed in accordance to

local and federal building guidelines.  In most parts of Texas, we abide by International Residential Code for single family homes and International Building Code for Multi Family and Commercial/Industrial properties.

Depending on your towns requirements, there may be inspections with the permit. The building inspectors job is to ensure that the contractor has applied the proper code requirements to secure your property based on many factors. This is for your protection.

If you ever intend to sell your home, its important to show whatever upgrades, modifications and renovations you have made were registered and properly inspected by city or state officials.  A typical roofing permit averages around $300-800 on single family homes and varies from low $500s to several thousand dollars for commercial and multi family.  This is included in all Roofing Professionals of Texas estimates.

Never negotiate on this point.  And if the contractor asks you to pull the permit, they are not the right contractor for your project. Before paying the your contractor’s final bill, verify your permit was actually “finalized” and that there are no outstanding building code requirements.
