Do you need a permit?
Arlington requires a permit for a re-roof.
No building permit is required to replace roof covering materials (re-roof) when the replacement area is 10 percent or less of the roof area. All re-roofing projects, including those that do not require a building permit, must meet code provisions; flashings and drip edges are required, and underlayment must also be replaced when re-shingling a roof.
