Roofing in unincorporated San Joaquin County, such as Morada or French Camp, is permitted by the county's Community Development Department at 1810 E. Hazelton Ave. in Stockton. Not sure if you're in city limits? Your roofer can check the parcel before applying.
The county roofing permit
The county's roofing permit page says a permit is required for roof replacement, roof overlay, roof conversion and similar work. You apply through the county's online permitting system, and the page lists a Cool Roof Certificate of Compliance as the required document. Its contact number is (209) 468-2098. The county's electronic review notice lists roofing as an over-the-counter permit type.
Construction debris rules
County Ordinance 4370 sets construction and demolition recycling rules. The county's C&D page says roofing projects must comply, and roofing loads must be separated into clean streams like asphalt shingles and wood. The county's C&D recycling program is open to contractors and residents with permits issued in San Joaquin County.
Where tear-off goes
The county's North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill is at 17720 E. Harney Lane, Lodi. It accepts construction and demolition waste and charges a double fee for loads that aren't covered or tarped. The Lovelace Transfer Station in Manteca also takes C&D loads under the county program.

Before your county estimate
Larger rural lots often have a shop, barn or patio roof as well as the house. Ask whether the bid covers each building, since each can need its own permit. Tell the roofer if the home is on a long private drive, because a dumpster or trailer needs room. Ask how they will separate tear-off for the county's recycling rules.
Not sure whether you're in the county or the city? Your property tax bill or the county's parcel records can tell you, and your roofer needs to know before applying.
