Tips

  • Unlike cities that publish a flat re-roofing fee, Bullhead City bills re-roofing permits by project valuation using the same graduated Valuation Fee table (A3.40.021.02) as new construction — there is no separately itemized flat roofing fee in the FY2025-2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
  • The City's fee-schedule valuation note explicitly states that 'roofing' work is included within the total construction valuation used to compute the Building Permit Fee, confirming the valuation-based (not flat-fee) approach applies.
