Tips
- The only permit-exempt re-roof scopes are like-for-like material replacement and underlayment-only replacement — sheathing/structural repairs or a material change to tile always require a permit.
- Because the Town does not publish a dedicated roofing checklist, a permit-requiring re-roof is processed under the same 'Residential: Addition, Alteration, New, Model Plan' review-timeframe category as other remodel work: 5 business days administrative completeness, 20 business days first substantive review, 10 business days subsequent review, per the Town's A.R.S. § 9-835 timeframes chart (updated 7/22/2024).
- Fire sprinkler thresholds (3,600 sq ft) generally do not apply to a pure re-roof unless the project is bundled with other qualifying additions.
