Permits
What Uxbridge Requires for Roof Work
The town's Building Department says its mission is uniform enforcement of State and National Building Codes and the Town Zoning Bylaws. As of June 10, 2026, it has moved to a new online permitting system, where building permit applications and inspection requests are made.
- Fee Table
The town's building permit fee table lists "Roof, Siding, Windows" for one- and two-family residential work at $5.00 per thousand, with a $50.00 minimum. The table is headed "Effective January 2003", so it is dated 2003 and may have been replaced. Confirm the current amount with the department.
- Starting Early
The same table says starting work before obtaining a permit doubles the fee.
- Stormwater
The town's General By-Laws exempt repair or replacement of an existing roof of a single-family dwelling from needing a Stormwater Management Permit.
Rules differ from town to town, and from address to address. We check the rules for your address first, so you know what applies before the work is quoted.
Historic
The Uxbridge Common and Center Historic District
Uxbridge has a local historic district. Under Chapter 218 of the town's General By-Laws, the Uxbridge Common and Center Historic District is overseen by a Historic District Commission. Within the district, no building or structure may be constructed or altered in a way that affects exterior architectural features visible from a public way until the Commission issues a certificate. The bylaw names 3 kinds: appropriateness, nonapplicability and hardship.
Section 218-7 lists what the Commission does not review. 2 items matter for roofs. The color of materials used on roofs is excluded. So is ordinary maintenance, repair or replacement of an exterior architectural feature that does not involve a change in design, material or the outward appearance of it.
That is what the bylaw says, and we will not stretch it. Whether a given job needs a certificate depends on the address and on the work. The Commission's application states that it must be accompanied by a Building Permit Application. If your house is near the Common or in the Center, give us your address and we will check before we quote.
The Record
Floodplain and Winter Storm Planning
The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan reports about four square miles of floodplain in Uxbridge, according to FEMA flood insurance rate maps. Its climate resilience goal also includes an objective to lessen impacts of winter storms and severe storms.
Flood planning is not roof planning. Floodwater does not come through shingles. Wind, rain and winter weather are what act on a roof. For storm and winter questions, see our storm damage and insurance claims page and our ice dam guide.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Uxbridge have a historic district that could affect my roof?
Uxbridge has a local district, the Uxbridge Common and Center Historic District, under Chapter 218 of the General By-Laws. It applies only inside that district. Section 218-7 excludes the color of materials used on roofs and ordinary maintenance, repair or replacement that does not change design, material or outward appearance. Whether your job needs a certificate depends on your address and the work, so give us your address and we will check.
Does Uxbridge publish a current roof permit fee?
The fee table on the town's site is headed Effective January 2003, so ask the Building Department what applies today.
What happens if work starts before the permit?
The town's fee table says starting before obtaining a permit doubles the fee. Again, that table is dated 2003, so check the current rule with the department.
Do I need a stormwater permit to replace my Uxbridge roof?
The town's General By-Laws exempt repair or replacement of an existing roof of a single-family dwelling from needing a Stormwater Management Permit.
My Uxbridge house was built in the 1970s. Does that mean the roof is old?
No. The year a house was built does not tell you the condition of the roof on it. The median Uxbridge home was built in 1976, but many roofs have been replaced since, and a newer one can still have problems. Only an on-roof inspection tells you.
Do you cover Uxbridge and nearby Rhode Island towns?
Yes. Uxbridge borders Burrillville and North Smithfield, Rhode Island, and we work on both sides of the line. Call (401) 593-1512 with your address and we will tell you which town's rules apply.
