Wilton's roof permit and historic districts
Wilton files roofs under its minor building permit, the same application used for windows, wood stoves and kitchens. The form asks for the contractor's Department of Consumer Protection registration number, and the packet includes a roof compliance certification that the roofing contractor signs, stating the installation meets the building code and the manufacturer's instructions.
Wilton also has local historic districts. Its Historic District and Properties Commission answers the question directly: if your house is in a historic district and you want to replace the roof, you need a Certificate of Appropriateness before significant exterior work that can be seen from the public right of way begins. The commission says it does not have authority over maintenance and repair.
If yours is an antique house or has an old barn, ask the contractor about matching the original roof's look, and allow time for the commission if the house is in a district.
