Solar removal and reset on a Valley Village job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. That is as true in Valley Village as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety handles the paperwork for roofing work in Valley Village, and a licensed roofer pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner. Realistically, historic districts near Valley Village may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming in advance of materials are ordered. That is as true in Valley Village as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
