Permits for roofing work in Simi Valley
Plenty of cities run their own building department, so start by asking the City of Simi Valley 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.
