New Castle County Roofing Regulations & Permits
When undertaking roofing projects in Newark and unincorporated New Castle County, property owners should be aware of important jurisdictional standards:
- State & County Licensing: Anyone contracting for home improvements in Delaware must hold a Delaware State Business License. In unincorporated areas, contractors must also be registered with the New Castle County Department of Land Use.
- Roof Layer Limits: New Castle County building codes permit a maximum of two layers of roofing on residential structures. If two layers already exist, the old material must be completely stripped down to bare decking before installing new shingles.
- Ice Barrier Requirements: Delaware building codes mandate self-adhering polymer modified bitumen (ice-and-water shield) installed along eaves from the roof edge to a point at least 24 inches inside the interior heated wall line to protect against winter ice damming.
