What belongs in a Grant County roofing plan?
The exemption is limited by building type, layer count, and work scope. Do not apply it to a city parcel without checking that city’s rules. Manufactured homes follow Washington L&I; commercial reroofing requires a permit within county jurisdiction. Document the applicable path before quoting.
Prepare a scope that is easier to price and review
- Record existing/proposed layers and whether framing/deck work is structural.
- Check building type and parcel jurisdiction against the handout scope.
- Keep the scope determination or permit documents with the estimate.
