Do you need a permit?
Glendale requires a permit for a re-roof.
Glendale requires a permit for roof replacements; the city publishes no local reroof area exemption, so the CBC/CRC 105.2 model applies for minor repair only. Glendale adds a design layer the state code does not: a like-for-like replacement in the same roofing material may go over the counter, but changing the roofing material type requires Design Review approval before the building permit can issue.
