What belongs in a Ferry County roofing plan?
Elevation-based snow guidance and the package’s ice-barrier note are practical roof-planning inputs, but they do not establish whether a permit is needed or replace project-specific review. The reviewed Building Department page does not clearly state city coverage; verify jurisdiction and current criteria with staff.
