Frequently asked questions
Do you need a permit to replace a roof in Delaware?
Usually, yes: most Delaware cities and counties that enforce a building code require a permit for a full roof replacement, while minor repairs are often exempt. Rules are set locally, so check with the building department for the property's city (or county, outside city limits). See do you need a permit to replace a roof.
