Re-Roofing Permit in Clarkdale, Arizona

Required for residential and commercial re-roofing in the Town of Clarkdale when not covered by the Town's narrow like-for-like permit exemption. Governed by the 2024 IRC/IBC roofing provisions and Town of Clarkdale amendments; the Building Division's own page separately notes that permits ARE required for 'roofing... of any size.'

When you need this permit

  • Building permit required for re-roofing, EXCEPT the narrow residential exemption: like-for-like material re-roof, maximum 100 sq ft of sheathing replacement, and no more than two layers total (amended IRC Section R105.2, item 14)
  • The Building Division's own webpage separately states that permits are 'also required... for roofing... of any size,' which appears broader/stricter than the itemized 100-sq-ft IRC exemption text — applicants should confirm scope with the Building Official before assuming any exemption applies, since the two Town sources are not perfectly reconciled
  • This exemption applies to residential (IRC) work only; the IRC exemption list explicitly states these exemptions 'do not apply to commercial projects'
  • Roof plan/material listing typically required showing existing framing, square footage, existing/proposed material and weight, sheathing, flashing, and underlayment

Tips

  • As of this review, the Town of Clarkdale does not publish a specific plan-review turnaround time for roofing permits. No A.R.S. § 9-835 time-frame document was located. Call Community Development at 928-639-2500 for a current estimate.
  • There is a real, unresolved discrepancy between the Building Division webpage (which broadly states permits are required for 'roofing... of any size') and the narrower, itemized 100-sq-ft/like-for-like/two-layer-maximum exemption written into the amended IRC Section R105.2 text. This file reports both sources rather than picking one — confirm the applicable scope directly with the Building Official before assuming an exemption applies to any specific re-roof project.
