Inspection process

    Tips

    • Roofing permits are filed through the same Cloud Permit application used for Building and Residential Electrical permits — there is no separate roofing-only intake process.
    • Review timeline governed by statute: a re-roof of a single-family dwelling is filed on the same single-family-dwelling Building Permit Application, so MCA 50-60-106(2)(c) applies — Miles City (certified under 50-60-302 for Building) must issue 'the relevant building permit or notice of plan disapproval within 10 working days of the contractor's submission' when the department's single-family-dwelling checklist is attached. A straightforward re-roof submittal typically issues well within that window (range floor 1 working day). The city publishes no separate SLA (independently reconfirmed 2026-07-03).
