Roofing in Garland
The permit fee on Garland's Re-Roofing page is $150, and a 4.5% Technology/Equipment Surcharge, non-refundable, is assessed on all permits issued by the Building Inspections Department. Roof repairs need a permit when their value is $2,000 or greater. Changing the roofing material needs one too, with metal roofing at 26 gauge or better and manufacturer specifications, and changing the pitch needs detailed plans. Under the 2015 International Residential Code, which the page cites, a roof may carry up to two layers of shingles, and a third layer means a tear-off.

Garland's housing has a 1978 median year built according to Census ACS 2020-2024 figures.
