Roof covering permit exemption path
City of Austin's work-exempt page says certain residential roof work can be exempt from a building permit, including replacing existing asphalt shingles and replacing roof covering when it does not adversely affect the roof structure. The exemption is limited: Wildland-Urban Interface properties and 50% or greater roof replacement can change the result, and structural work should be confirmed with Austin Development Services.
