Inside Louisville Metro, commercial building permits come from the Department of Inspections, Permits and Licenses, and gas lines lifted off the roof need a state permit.

Building Just Outside These Areas?
Call and tell us where the building is and what the roof looks like. If it sits outside our area, we will say so right away.
What Changes From Town To Town
The roof work stays the same everywhere we coat. The paperwork, the building stock, and site access change from one town to the next.
St. Matthews
Before the Metro permit, the city issues a Letter of Compliance naming every trade on the roof, each holding a city business license.
Lyndon
Roof plans and registration go to the City Clerk at least 30 days before work begins, followed by a letter of compliance.
Shively
A Compliance Certificate from the city goes to Metro for the permit, with a square-footage fee and a bond on commercial roof work.
Pleasure Ridge Park
As a Louisville neighborhood, it gets permits straight from Metro, and any downspout change is checked against MSD stormwater rules.
Okolona
Permits run through Metro, and lift and pail staging at the roof edge is planned around busy customer lots along Preston Highway.
Questions About Our Service Area
Permits, building types, and how work differs between Louisville and the small cities around it.
Question about your own roof?
Call UsWho issues permits for roof coating work in Louisville and nearby small cities?
Louisville Metro's Department of Inspections, Permits and Licenses issues commercial building permits across the metro, and some small cities add a step first: a Letter of Compliance in St. Matthews, a Compliance Certificate in Shively, and plan registration in Lyndon. Pleasure Ridge Park and Okolona go straight to Metro. Its reroofing guide helps confirm whether your scope needs a permit.
Is the roof work different in a small city like St. Matthews or Lyndon?
The roof work is identical. The difference is paperwork and timing: a city letter, certificate, or 30-day registration comes before the Metro permit, so jobs in those cities start planning earlier. We line those steps up during the inspection so the work date holds.
Which building types do you coat around Louisville?
Commercial buildings only: warehouses, service shops, plants, strip centers, offices, restaurants, churches, and farm buildings used for business. Most have metal roofs, and many have a flat addition, canopy, or shingle front that gets its own coating plan alongside the main roof.
What if my building sits just outside these five areas?
Call and tell us the address. Louisville itself and the five named areas are where we coat roofs, and we will tell you straight away whether a building nearby fits. Calling the number at the top of the screen reaches us directly.
