Inspection process
- 1
Final
Completed roof inspection; owner/contractor must have already submitted decking/underlayment photos separately, as the county does not perform an on-site underlayment/decking inspection
Tips
- IMPORTANT: Take clear photos of the roof decking and underlayment BEFORE they are covered — the Natrona County Building Department explicitly does not perform this inspection in person and requires photo evidence to close out the permit.
- Both tear-off and recover (going over existing roofing) are disclosed on the same application — check the correct box for your project.

- Does the county inspect roof decking before shingles go on?
