Metro's residential permit page names "install siding, roofing, fireplaces or solar panels" as permit work, and lists "repairs to an existing roof not to exceed 33 percent of the roof area" among normal maintenance repairs that need no permit. Registered contractors file through ePermits; a homeowner doing their own roof applies as an owner-builder.
