Tips

  • Residential reroofs of 100 sq ft or less are not addressed as a distinct fee tier in Resolution No. 1355 (the flat $52.00 applies to reroofs 'area > 100 sq ft'); confirm with the Building Department whether very small patch reroofs require a permit at all.
  • Ice barrier underlayment IS required per Riverton's local design criteria table (RMC § 15.04.040) — factor this into reroof material planning given the area's severe weathering classification and 30-inch frost line.
