A Re‑Roof In Hemet

A Permit From 100 Square Feet
Hemet requires a permit for re-roofing of 100 square feet or more. Since August 11, 2026, new applications go through the city's Tyler Customer Self-Service portal.
Sources: City of Hemet, Do I Need a Building Permit?; City of Hemet, Building & Safety.

What Goes With The Application
The city's re-roof handout asks for the permit application, a notarized owner authorization or an owner-signed contract, a completed CF1R re-roofing form, and a plot plan showing the areas and square footage being re-roofed.
-
Layers And Tear-Offs
Hemet allows one overlay of asphalt shingles over an existing asphalt roof, two layers at most. A full tear-off is required where the old roof is water-soaked or deteriorated, is wood shake, slate, clay or cement tile, or already has two or more layers, with a few exceptions the handout lists.
-
Two Inspections
Tear-offs and overlays get two inspections: a pre-roof inspection once the old roofing is off, then a roof nail and final inspection when the work is done. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms have to be in place before the final.

Questions
Roofing Questions In Hemet
-
Does part of a roof need a permit in Hemet?
If the re-roofing covers 100 square feet or more, yes. Hemet's permit guide sets the line there.
-
Can new tile go over my old roof in Hemet?
Not without an engineer or architect. Hemet's handout says tile over an existing roof covering, or any tile roof over 6 pounds per square foot, needs structural calculations by a licensed engineer or architect.
-
What climate zone is Hemet in?
Zone 10. The city's own re-roof handout says so, and its main ZIP codes, 92543, 92544 and 92545, are Zone 10 on the California Energy Commission's list.
