Depends on the job
When a permit is needed: When sheathing or rafters are rotted, or new sheathing is laid over the old roof deck
Reshingling a roof with solid sheathing needs no permit, but code and manufacturer rules still apply. A roof that already has two or more layers must be stripped completely, and an ice barrier is required.

Nebraska rules that apply
Roofers must register with the state
Nebraska requires contractors who work on property other than their own, including roofers, to register with the Department of Labor. Registration does not guarantee quality of work or protect against fraud, so search the state registry and still check references.
