- Building permit required for re-roofing under the 2024 IBC (commercial, § 150-015) or 2024 IRC (residential, § 150-180); no permit-type-specific ordinance exists — re-roofing is valued and permitted under the general building-permit provisions
- Permit fee is the governing valuation-based Table 1-A schedule (Yuma City Code § 150-016(I) / § 150-181(K)), the same schedule verified for the Residential Building Permit (New Construction) permit type in this file, applied to the re-roof's contract valuation
- Plan review fee is 65% of the building permit fee where plan review is required (§ 150-181(L))
- Review timeline is governed by the City's A.R.S. § 9-835 Building Permit Processing Time Frames document (the same governing timeline source verified for other permit types in this file)

Roof covering, underlayment, and flashing verified prior to final cover, per 2024 IBC/IRC roofing provisions as adopted
Tips
- Per the City's Building Permit Processing Time Frames document (A.R.S. § 9-835 compliance document), 'Commercial Building - Roof' and 'Residential Multi Family - Roof' both carry an 11-business-day overall review time (1-day admin + 5-day first review); no distinct line item was published for single-family residential re-roofing specifically, so this file uses the same 11-day figure documented for the closest listed comparable activity, consistent with the governing building-permit timeline used elsewhere in this file.
- Re-roofing has no dedicated fee ordinance in Yuma — it is billed on the same valuation-based Table 1-A schedule verified for new construction, confirmed by a full read of the Chapter 150 table of contents (American Legal) showing no separate roofing subchapter.
