Nova Scotia writes its re-roofing permit rule into the provincial regulations, and licenses anyone selling at the door.
Nova Scotia’s Building Code Regulations adopt the National Building Code of Canada 2020. Unless a municipality requires otherwise by bylaw, removing and replacing roofing with similar materials on a house or other small building needs no building permit, though the code still applies. Municipally appointed building officials administer the code.
Direct sellers must be licensed, must provide contracts for sales over $100, and buyers have a 10-day cooling-off period to cancel for any reason.
Fall protection is required where a person could fall 3 m or more above the nearest safe surface. A business in a mandatory industry with 3 or more workers at the same time must register with WCB Nova Scotia.
