Full replacements in Poway generally require a permit through the county or city building department covering Poway, with an inspection once the work is finished. Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in Poway is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Fire-zone properties around Poway carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. That is as true in Poway as anywhere in San Diego County.
