Roofing Permit in Moore, OK — Cost, Requirements & Process

Re-roofing in Moore is one of the most common permits and follows a strict inspection sequence rooted in the city's post-2013 wind-load amendments. Any re-roof of a residential or commercial structure requires a permit, even like-for-like replacement of the same shingle type and color. Repairs over 200 sq ft or affecting more than one slope also require a permit.

The Moore amendment that catches out-of-town crews on their first job: SIX nails per asphalt shingle, not four. This applies across all wind-exposure categories in Moore — the city is treated as Exposure C jurisdiction-wide. Six fasteners apply to all shingle types including high-wind Class H or Class F per ASTM D7158. The inspector verifies the fastener pattern at an in-progress inspection BEFORE underlayment installation is concealed.

Roofing contractors in Moore must be registered with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board. OCIB registration costs $300 per year and requires a $50,000 surety bond OR $500,000 general liability insurance. After hail or tornado events, Moore residents see significant out-of-state storm-chaser activity — always verify the OCIB registration at cib.ok.gov before signing any contract or paying a deposit. It is a felony in Oklahoma for a roofer to pay or absorb the homeowner's insurance deductible.
