Do I need a permit to re-roof my house?

You do not need a permit, if you are simply tearing off the existing or adding a layer of shingles, (The 1 and 2 Family Building Code states, you may add up to three layers of shingles before you have to remove the shingles on any pitch or slope of roofing) If you reconfigure or reconstruct the pitch or slope of the existing roof with new or additional structural materials you will need a permit.
