Valsdad,
You do have me thinking.....
Got a new roof going on in a couple weeks.
Pretty sure I don't need a permit, but with the new(er) state codes
That were passed 10 years ago, or so?
Maybe? Inspection?
Guess I'll find out.
Anything will be better than the one that wants to leak.
Permits are a bit different in most cases than an Association telling you that ONLY sculptured asphalt shingles are allowed. Or ONLY Red Spanish roofing tiles, you can't replace them with metal even if it's better and longer lasting.
Most times the permits are just to make sure your roof is "up to code" and Juan the roofer doesn't us 1/8" sheeting under the tar paper he had Manuel pull up from another job to use on yours because he can make more money that way.
