Express Permit Program path for eligible reroofing work

Chicago's Express Permit Program reroofing instructions provide a streamlined permit path for many types of reroofing work, including roof repair, roof recover, and roof replacement. Eligible scopes include roof repair limited to 25% of roof area, roof recover over one existing layer, and roof replacement with no structural work; structural repairs or additional layers over two or more existing layers require architect or structural engineer documents.
