Roofing in Concord
Concord's Fees and Charges schedule, last adopted 4-28-2026 under Resolution 26.6042.1, sets a Reroof Permit Inspection Fee for homes and businesses at $96.00 + 0.096A, where A is the roof area in square feet. It's a formula. An administrative base fee of $70 plus 0.0789 percent of valuation applies to permit applications in general. A replacement roof needs a permit too: Information Bulletin IB-022, Work Requiring a Permit, marks Roof/Re-roof Yes for new work and for replacement on single-family and duplex homes.
Concord also lists a county wildfire code. Its Current Building Codes page carries Contra Costa County Ordinance No. 2025-15, which adopts the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code with local amendments for the fire district serving the city. It's operative January 1, 2026 or 30 days after passage, whichever is later. Its local definition of Substantial Alteration covers taking out 50 percent or more of a wall's linear length along with removing and replacing at least half the roof area within one year.
Con Fire, not the city, is the lead agency for the local fire hazard map. Concord's page says the State Fire Marshal released Contra Costa's updated maps on February 24, 2025 and that the district board had to adopt them by June 24, 2025, though it doesn't print the adoption. On both CAL FIRE layers, state and local, Very High touches Concord's line. Contact isn't acreage. The 1970 median build year comes from ACS 2020-2024.

Permits for roofing work in Concord
Plenty of cities run their own building department, so start by asking the City of Concord building department who issues roofing permits.
Your city or county building department decides whether a re-roof needs a permit, and CSLB says code requirements vary around the state, so ask the one for your address. California's Energy Code counts reroofing as an alteration, not a repair, which is worth mentioning when you ask what applies to your roof.
