Tempe sits in the middle of the East Valley, so its neighbors are close by. Old Town in Scottsdale, AZ is about 5 miles north, downtown Mesa, AZ about 6 to 7 miles east, and downtown Phoenix, AZ about 8 miles west. Chandler, AZ shares a border with south Tempe, and the Heritage District in the Town of Gilbert, AZ lies about 13 miles southeast. All of these distances are rough estimates.
Each city writes its own re-roof permit rules, so a job that needs no permit in one place may need one a few miles away. That's why every town below lists its permit office and phone number. Wherever you live, your roofer confirms the local rule and pulls any permit the job needs.

- Tempe. About 190,571 residents (2025 estimate). In Tempe, a full roof replacement generally needs a building permit from the City's Building Safety Division; your roofer should pull it and can confirm with the Permit Center at 480-350-4311. Start on the Tempe homepage.
- Phoenix. The focus is Ahwatukee Foothills and South Mountain, which share Kyrene and Tempe Union schools with Tempe. Phoenix exempts a re-roof using the same type of material; a change of material needs a permit from Planning & Development (602-262-7811). See the Phoenix page.
- Mesa. A big city in its own right, with 511,648 people (2023 estimate). Its FAQ allows a new roof of the same material type or better, and historic homes need Planning approval. Your roofer confirms permit needs with Development Services (480-644-4273). See the Mesa page.
- Scottsdale. A same-material re-roof is on the city's no-permit list, but repairing or replacing any sheathing or framing calls for a permit and three inspections. The One Stop Shop is at 480-312-2500. See the Scottsdale page.
- Chandler. A permit is needed to change materials, for example to concrete tile, which requires an engineering analysis, or when like material already exceeds two layers. Building Safety: 480-782-3000. See the Chandler page.
- Gilbert. The town, once known as the "Hay Capital of the World," exempts re-roofing that doesn't require a structural change. Development Services: (480) 503-6700. See the Gilbert page.
Historic homes can change the answer. In Tempe, properties in districts such as Roosevelt Addition or Borden Homes need Historic Preservation Office review before exterior work, and Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale and Chandler each run a historic review process of their own.
