Question:
Do I need a permit to replace a roof?
Answer:
No, if you are just putting shingles over the old shingles (maximum is 2 layers.) Yes, if you are tearing off the old shingles and replacing. Permit fee is $50.00. The homeowner may do the work themselves. If using a contractor they must be licensed with the City of Darien. For more info visit the Building Department homepage, or call 630-353-8115
