Do I need a permit for roof replacement or repair in Carrollton?

Most likely yes. Roof replacement or repair usually requires a permit in Georgia. Confirm the specifics with Carrollton.

Reroofing generally requires a building permit in Georgia jurisdictions; confirm your city or county threshold and whether a state-licensed roofer is required. Structural sheathing or decking replacement can add a separate inspection, so tell the inspector if you expose the deck. Carroll County's own permitting office is the Carroll County Community Development Department, reachable on 770-830-5861 at https://www.carrollcountyga.gov/158/Community-Development-Department. Its online permit portal is https://carrollcountyga.eps.cloud/eps/index.html. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, and many smaller Georgia municipalities do not, this is the office that will handle the job. Roofing permits and the dry-in inspection are handled by whichever office serves your address, so confirm that before the tear-off starts. Carrollton's building permit application covers work to erect, alter, or repair a structure, with repair as a listed permit type. The city publishes no separate re-roofing exemption. Inside a designated Carrollton historic district or on a designated historic property, no material change in appearance can be made until the Historic Preservation Commission approves a certificate of appropriateness (UDO 3.05.11). Carrollton issues building, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, gas, and pool permits at City Hall, 315 Bradley Street (770-830-2000), and every permit must be picked up in person by the Georgia state card holder. Someone else picking it up needs a notarized affidavit.
