Tips

  • No dedicated re-roof-specific review-timeline was found published separately from the general permit process; re-roof permits are issued under the same Chapter 15.04 (Building Code) 'Permits Required' provision that governs all building-permit-regulated work (including 'erection, construction, ... repair, ... demolition' per Pocatello Municipal Code 15.04.010), so the City's governing minimum 10-working-day plan review timeline for building-permit-regulated work applies.
  • The fee is a flat $65 for residential work distinct from the full valuation-based Building Permit Fee schedule used for commercial re-roofs.
