Permits and licensing
St. Louis County
St. Louis County does not require a building permit for a like-for-like replacement of asphalt shingles on a roof sloped 4:12 or steeper. The county requires a permit when the slope is under 4:12, when more than a quarter of the roof sheathing needs replacing, or when the covering changes material — and work that needs no permit must still meet the county's codes. That rule applies where the county enforces the residential code: unincorporated St. Louis County and the municipalities that contract with the county for it. Other municipalities have rules of their own.

St. Louis County permit questions
- Does a straight shingle-for-shingle replacement need a county permit?
- Not when the roof is sloped 4:12 or steeper — the county's own re-roofing guide says a like-for-like asphalt-shingle replacement there needs no building permit, though the work must still meet the county's codes.
- When does the county require one?
- When the slope is under 4:12, when more than a quarter of the sheathing has to be replaced, or when the covering changes material. And that is the county's rule where the county enforces the residential code — unincorporated areas and the municipalities that contract with it; other municipalities run their own permitting.
