Roofing permit path with shingle-work exception
City of Fort Worth residential permitting guidance says replacement of decking material, lathing boards, sheathing boards, rafters, or ridge boards requires a building permit. The same page says shingle work does not require a permit, with a limit on the number of shingle layers allowed. Roofing projects should confirm whether the scope is shingle-only or includes structural or deck work before starting.
