Whether a permit is needed depends on the scope of work — replacing roofing like-for-like is treated differently from work touching sheathing, roof pitch, skylights or rooftop equipment. Fees are usually set on project valuation rather than a flat rate; across King and Snohomish counties they generally run $150–$600. Confirm both with Lynnwood before you budget — see the city's permit page.
