RE-ROOF PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

Effective February 5, 1996, the City of Paso Robles Building Division no longer requires re-roofing permits for the removal and replacement of existing, like, roofing materials.

The Building Division will require that permits be secured for re-roofing when the following condition exists:

A. The replacement of a roof with unlike materials of a different structural design load or fire classification.

Example:

• A property owner wishes to remove an existing composition or shake roof and install concrete tile.
• The replacement of a Class fire resistive roof with that of a lessor classification.

B. When new roof sheeting is installed or any structural changes are made to the supporting roof structure as a result of a change in weights in the roof materials, or as a result of decay.

C. The installation of any shake roof.

D. The repair or re-roof of any wood shake or wood shingle roof using wood shakes or shingles.

E. Installation of any plywood roof diaphragm (sheathing) required as a result of a seismic strengthening of retrofit program.

NOTE: The Code does not allow installation of more than two layers of asphalt shingles on a roof.
