Roof Replacement · Coconino County, Arizona

Permit required

In Arizona, a Roof Replacement requires a building permit.

A permit is required to replace a roof in Coconino County. In the county's mapped Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) ignition zones the roof covering must be Class A fire-rated and detailed to resist embers (tight valley flashing, ember-resistant vents, no gaps). Coconino County (Flagstaff) enforces an adopted wildland-urban interface code in its mapped fire zones. Inland of the mapped zones the standard roofing rules apply. Plans are reviewed under the Coconino County WUI code (AZ) code (IRC IWUIC); apply through Coconino County Community Development before work begins.
