Put simply, permit requirements in Bellflower run through the Bellflower building department. Minor repairs usually do not call for one; a tear-off and replacement does. This holds across Los Angeles County. Put simply, permit fees in Bellflower are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the homeowner at resale. Structural work on a Bellflower roof covering triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself.
