Spokane Roofing Permit Activity

The City of Spokane requires a permit for roof replacement, and its open data portal publishes every permit opened in the past three calendar years, refreshed nightly. In the City’s “Roofing, Siding, Window” permit category:

• 7,159 permits opened over the period covered by the City’s dataset (the past three calendar years plus 2026 to date) — an average of roughly 190 per month across the city.
• 620 permits opened in 2026 through the dataset’s latest update.
• Note: the City groups roofing, siding and window work into one permit category, so these counts cover all three trades. City of Spokane, Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley are separate permitting jurisdictions — these figures are City of Spokane only.

Why this matters when you’re pricing a roof: a permit is not optional in Spokane. Replacement requires a City permit with a minimum of two inspections (after ice barrier installation and on completion), and skipping it risks fines from double the permit fee up to a $257 civil infraction. Full details in the Spokane roof replacement permit guide. A reputable contractor pulls the permit for you — thousands of Spokane homeowners’ contractors did exactly that in the counts above.
