Permit requirements in Jamul run through the county or city building department covering Jamul. Minor repairs as a rule do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. We see it on Jamul roofs every week. In practice, unpermitted roofing in Jamul surfaces at resale. the county or city building department covering Jamul keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it.
