Roofing Permits: Pittsburg vs San Ramon

Pittsburg requires building permits for roof replacement and major re-roofing under the California Building Code as adopted in Pittsburg Municipal Code Title 15. Permits ensure compliance with fire classification, structural load, and ventilation requirements. Class A roofing is required in designated fire hazard areas, and tear-offs exceeding one layer require full permitting with inspections.

San Ramon requires a building permit for reroofing projects through the Contra Costa County Building Inspection Division, which provides permit services to San Ramon. Roofing must comply with the 2022 California Residential Code and California Building Code. Class A fire-rated roof assemblies are required citywide because San Ramon is located in a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) area under CAL FIRE mapping. Permits are needed for full reroofs and significant repairs; minor patch repairs under 100 sq ft may be exempt.
