Realistically, unpermitted roofing in Simi Valley surfaces at resale. the Simi Valley building department keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Fire-zone properties around Simi Valley carry assembly requirements that the permit will look over against. Ventura County is no different. the Simi Valley building department handles the paperwork for roofing the project in Simi Valley, and a licensed roofer pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner.
