New roofs and major reroofs in Anaheim must meet California Title 24 cool-roof reflectance and emittance standards, with extra requirements for low-slope nonresidential roofs reviewed under the city building permit process.
Anaheim adopts California's Title 24 Part 6 energy standards through AMC Title 15. Cool-roof rules apply when more than half of the roof is replaced. Low-slope nonresidential roofs must use materials meeting minimum solar reflectance and thermal emittance values, while steep-slope residential roofs face less stringent but still measurable thresholds. Permits require listing the cool-roof rated product (CRRC-listed) on the application. Building inspectors verify product labels at final inspection. Local reach amendments may add stricter values in support of the Climate Action Plan and heat-island mitigation goals.
Installing a non-rated product, removing CRRC labels before inspection, or skipping the reroof permit can trigger correction notices, fines, and orders to replace noncompliant materials.
