The City of OKC sends this information as posted below:
Starting Aug. 1, contractors and property owners must get a roofing permit from the City of Oklahoma City before beginning any significant roof removal, repair and/or replacement project.
The requirement applies to all single-family homes and duplexes within the Oklahoma City limits.
A roofing permit is not required for maintenance work in areas of 500 square feet or less or on new construction.
“This ordinance establishes vital oversight of roofing operations within Oklahoma City,” Development Services Director Brock Rowe said. “Given the frequency of severe weather in our region, it is critical that we protect homeowners, especially during times of crisis, by ensuring work is done safely, professionally, and in full compliance with code.”
Oklahoma City Council adopted the ordinance June 17, 2025.
Reroof permit process
Residents and contractors can apply for a roofing permit online at okc.gov/access or visit the City’s In-Person Business Center on the first floor of 420 W. Main St.
Permits will typically be issued on the same day, costing $94.50.
Once the contractors or property owner receive their permit and inspection list, they can request an inspection online, through text or via an automated phone system.
The City’s inspectors will check for things like roof condition, flashing, drainage, installation, compliance and more.
For questions about roofing or other building permits, contact the City’s Development Center at (405) 297-2525 or developmentcenter@okc.gov.
