Roofing in Arlington
For one- and two-family homes, Arlington's fee schedule, effective September 1, 2025 under Resolution No. 25-213, lists a reroof permit at $275.00. Under the city's roofing bulletin, replacing roof covering needs a building permit unless the replacement area is 10 percent or less of the roof. Every re-roof must meet code whether or not it needs a permit: flashing and drip edges are required, underlayment is replaced, and where shingles come off, the decking must be code-compliant or replaced.
The bulletin cites the 2021 I-Codes, the 2020 NEC and, for ventilation, 2021 IRC R806. Every contractor must be registered with the city, and roofing doesn't appear in the state licensing department's menu of regulated industries. Open flame on a roof needs a Fire Department operational permit from the Fire Prevention Offices, 405 W. Main Street, (817) 459-5535. City Hall's second floor, 101 W. Abram Street, houses Planning and Development Services, at 817-459-6502.
In the ACS for 2020-2024, Arlington's median year built is 1986 and its median owner-occupied home value $304,700. To get the permit, the owner, a contractor or an authorized agent files an application, a site plan and a re-roof worksheet at ap.arlingtontx.gov, and the permit has to be issued and posted at the job site before work starts.
