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

Permit required

Yes. In Ohio, roof replacement or repair generally requires a permit, and Bowling Green is no exception.

Under the Residential Code of Ohio a full re-roof is an alteration of an existing structure, so most Ohio jurisdictions that enforce the code require a permit for a complete roof replacement. Confirm the local threshold before you begin. Ohio residential code is enforced only by certified local building departments. In areas of Ohio with no certified residential building department, a permit may not be required or even available, but the work must still comply with the RCO.
