Permit may be required

It depends. Whether roof replacement or repair needs a permit in Unincorporated Green County comes down to the details of your project.

Kentucky does not require a building permit or inspection for a single-family dwelling unless the local government has passed an ordinance creating a residential inspection program (KRS 198B.060 and 815 KAR 7:125, Section 2(2)(a)), so the first question is whether the city or county covering the address has one. The Kentucky Residential Code defines an ordinary repair to include in-kind replacement of roofing that does not alter the structure; whether a re-roof needs a permit is decided by the local program, so confirm before starting. Replacing decking, rafters, or other structural members, or changing the roof structure, goes beyond an ordinary repair. Kentucky has no statewide dollar-value exemption from permits. Structural roof work such as replacing decking, sheathing, rafters, or trusses falls outside exemptions that cover roof coverings only. Structural roof work requires a building permit and normally a framing or sheathing inspection before the new covering goes on, so it has to be scheduled before the roof is dried in.
