Tips

  • Invoices are typically issued within 48 hours after the roof permit application is submitted.
  • The application becomes null and void if not pursued in good faith within 180 days of the submittal date.
  • If the interior side setback is less than 10 feet and the roof slopes toward that property line, the roof must be designed to hold and/or shed snow to prevent accumulation on the adjoining property (MCC 3.3.041).
  • Schedule inspections with the Building Official at least 24-48 hours in advance by calling (208) 634-8648.
