Permit

Roof replacement permits in Richmond

We pull it and schedule the inspections. It’s billed at the city’s actual cost, separate from the roof.

Permit authority

City of Richmond Building Division; confirm incorporated boundary rather than mailing city.

Permit planning

ARS allows approximately one week for permits unless the department confirms a shorter route; issuance is not guaranteed.

Past ARS permit cost

Richmond assessed $565.27 on a September 2026 ARS reroof permit invoice. That is an assessed historical amount, not confirmation of payment. The charge for your project must be assessed for its own scope and current rates.

From the Richmond building department and our own project records. Content reviewed October 11, 2026; inspection guidance checked October 10, 2026. Fees change, so we confirm yours when we pull the permit.

Local projects

Local roofing decisions

The flat portion needed its own sheathing and membrane

A Richmond replacement recorded in March 2025 combined CertainTeed Landmark Pro Solaris shingles with 60-mil TPO on the flat roof. The scope specifically included sheathing repair over that flat section as well as dry-rot repair, plumbing penetrations and ventilation. Another Richmond job removed an additional layer over only part of the roof. The roof areas and existing layer counts belong in the inspection plan and proposal, each listed separately.

The drainage and fireplace work were explicit

An April 2022 Richmond replacement included custom fireplace saddles with counterflashing, additional downspouts and seamless aluminum gutters. Its scope also lists four new ventilation vents. These were recorded additions to that roof replacement, not an automatic inclusion in every Richmond reroof price.

Straight answers

Questions for this project

What if solar panels need removal and reinstallation?

Richmond requires a separate solar permit. Unchanged systems use their original approved drawings; confirm the proposed scope and required records before panel handling begins.
