Fee schedule

Re-Roofing (Miscellaneous SFD Residential Permit)City of Westminster Building Division Fee Schedule V3 2026, effective January 1, 2026 — "Miscellaneous SFD Residential Permit Fees" table lists Re-Roofing at $100.00 (no footnote asterisk applies to this line item). Re-verified 2026-07-05 by re-fetching the live PDF and rendering it to an image for visual reading, since pdftotext's column extraction misaligns this two-column table and silently mis-reports this row as "$80.00*" (that text actually belongs to a neighboring row). A prior commit (f85799f) had changed this to $80.00 believing it was a transcription error; that correction was itself wrong — the published figure is $100.00.

  • Westminster's Special Wind Region designation means all asphalt shingle work requires high-wind nailing per manufacturer instructions — confirm your parcel's City Map Wind Zone (1/2/3) before ordering materials.
  • Switching to a heavier roofing material (e.g., concrete or clay tile) requires an engineer's letter confirming the existing structure can support the added weight.
