Re-Roofing Permit in Jerome, Arizona
Required for re-roofing in the Town of Jerome, billed at a specific flat fee per the Official Fee Schedule. Because a roof is a visible exterior element, most re-roofs also require either full Design Review Board review (new material/color not covered by the limited exemption) or the lighter Zoning Administrator review track.

When you need this permit
- Building permit required for re-roofing at a specific flat fee ($50.00) per the Official Fee Schedule
- Design Review track depends on scope: changes in roof MATERIAL or COLOR with limited reflectivity qualify for the lighter Zoning Administrator review track (Section 304.C.1) rather than a full Design Review Board hearing; 'paint, stain, and similar coatings' are otherwise listed as requiring full Board review (Section 304.B.7) and roofs are reviewed under the same general new-construction/alteration criteria (Section 304.H.2.b: 'Original roof shape, design, and material shall be preserved and retained where feasible')
- Like-for-like repair/replacement using the same materials is exempt from Design Review (Section 304.D), but is NOT exempt from the building permit itself under the Building Department's own fee schedule, which lists Re-Roof as a specific itemized $50 fee with no stated exemption threshold

Tips
- Re-roofing with the SAME material only costs an extra $25 Design Review fee (the 'Paint Colors/Roofing of Same Material' line) — but changing to a different roofing material or color likely bumps the project into the pricier 'Large Alterations' or 'New Construction' Design Review fee tiers, and may require full Design Review Board (not just Zoning Administrator) review depending on reflectivity and scope. Confirm classification with the Zoning Administrator before assuming the $25 rate applies.
- Jerome's own Fee Schedule lists 'Re-Roof' as a distinct $50 flat Building Department fee with no stated small-job or like-for-like exemption — unlike some nearby AZ towns' broader 100 sq ft repair exemptions, Jerome's published fee table does not carve out an exempt tier for minor roof repairs.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — Re-Roof is a specifically itemized $50.00 Building Department fee with no stated exemption threshold in the Town's Official Fee Schedule. If you are changing roofing material or color, you will also likely need Design Review clearance (either the lighter Zoning Administrator track for limited-reflectivity material/color changes, or full Design Review Board review otherwise) before the building permit can be issued, because the entire town lies within the Historic Overlay District.
In Jerome, the published Re-Roof is: $50.00. Additional published fees: Design Review Board Fee — Paint Colors/Roofing of Same Material — $25. These are the jurisdiction's own published figures — see the fee schedule table and source citations on this page.

Jerome, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code floor for general construction — code adoption is a per-city/county authority under state enabling statutes (e.g., A.R.S. Title 9 for municipalities). Despite its very small size (population approximately 450), the Town of Jerome runs its own genuinely independent Building Department with a named Building Inspector (Barry Wolstencroft), its own adopted code chapter (Town Code Chapter 7, Building and Safety Codes), and its own Council-adopted fee schedule (Schedule A-1) — it does NOT defer building-permit administration to Yavapai County.
