Tips

  • Casa Grande's fee schedule publishes two distinct re-roof permit tracks at different flat fees: standard in-person inspection ($125, includes plan review) versus drone inspection ($400, includes plan review) — the drone track costs more but may offer scheduling flexibility for hard-to-access roofs.
  • Re-roofing is capped at a maximum of two layers of roof covering per the City's adopted design criteria; ice barrier underlayment is not required given the local desert climate (0 freezing index value).
  • Review timeframe is drawn from the City's A.R.S. § 9-835 chart; re-roofing without other structural scope is treated as a residential building permit item, tracking the Single/Two-Family Residential 'Standard Plan' timeframe (2-business-day completeness + 20/20 business-day substantive review = 44 business days maximum) unless the Development Center processes it as a faster Miscellaneous/Single Trade item at the counter — confirm the specific track when applying, since the fee schedule treats it as a flat-fee Building Permit Fee line rather than a Miscellaneous single-trade line.
