Short answer

Indiana does not issue a state roofing license. Licensing is handled by cities and counties.

What our research found

Indiana has no statewide roofing contractor license or registration. Some cities and counties require local contractor registration or permits; check the local jurisdiction.

Who handles it, per our sources: Local municipalities / counties (e.g., Indianapolis Dept. of Business and Neighborhood Services)

What to check locally

  1. Call the building or permit office of the city or county where the job is. Ask whether it needs a local roofing license or a contractor registration before you pull a permit.
  2. Ask what keeps that local license current: the renewal date, the fee, any bond or insurance certificate, and any continuing education.
  3. Check each city or county you work in on its own. Each one sets its own rules, fees and renewal dates.
  4. Read the notes above for anything the state still requires, such as a business registration, a tax license or a license for related trade work.
