What Is Roof Permit?
Whether a full roof replacement requires a building permit depends on the jurisdiction and the work. Many like-for-like asphalt shingle re-roofs inside the City of Austin are exempt, while permits are commonly required in unincorporated Travis County and surrounding municipalities, for material or structural changes, and in Wildland-Urban Interface areas. Zilker Roofing pulls any permit the jurisdiction requires and meets the inspection as part of a code-compliant replacement. Permit requirements, and any code upgrades they trigger, are set by the jurisdiction, not by the contractor.
