Re-roof permit checklist — San Bernardino, California
Assembled from San Bernardino’s own published permit rules. Every line below is quoted from a city document and linked to it. Nothing here is generated, estimated, or inferred from another jurisdiction.
Do you need a permit?
San Bernardino requires a permit for a re-roof.
The city publishes no reroofing exemption; roof covering replacement is permitted work under the adopted building code, and the fee schedule carries dedicated reroofing valuation factors, which implies every reroof is permitted rather than exempt. Only ordinary repairs under CBC/CRC 105.2 as adopted would fall outside the permit requirement.
