Frequently asked
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Yes, a re-roofing permit is required when replacing the sheathing. Shingle-only replacements on a single-family home do not need a permit.
How do I schedule an inspection?
Call (218) 555-0100 at least 24 hours ahead with your permit number. Inspections are done weekdays between 8 am and 3 pm.
How long is a permit valid?
Work must start within 180 days of issue, and a permit expires if work stops for more than 180 days.
What if I need a variance?
Variances are heard by the Board of Adjustment. See Planning & Zoning for deadlines and the application.
