Roof replacement permits in Omaha
Permit required
When a permit is needed: Roof repair or replacement covering two squares (200 square feet) or more
Repairs under two squares count as routine maintenance and need no permit. The roofer must give the city photos showing the ice and water shield in place, or the roofing may have to come off for an inspection.
Roofers must register with the city. Roofers need a City of Omaha contractor license (Class E for residential roofing) with a surety bond and liability insurance; Nebraska's state registration is not a license.

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.

Roofers can't rebate your deductible
Under Nebraska's Insured Homeowners Protection Act, a contractor can't give back any part of your insurance deductible, must notify your insurer within 5 business days of signing, and must give an itemized estimate before work starts. A contract that breaks these rules is void.
