Which towns can I send a roofing request from?
Sioux Falls and thirteen towns around it. Each has its own housing age, storm record and rules.
Sioux Falls
The city sets the strictest bar in the area. Since February 2024 a roofer needs a city Residential Roofing and Repair license to reshingle a house, and the city issues 1,800 to 2,000 shingle permits in a typical year with one hail event. Start with what a Sioux Falls roofing contractor needs.
Brandon
Half of Brandon’s houses were built in 2001 or later, and the 5 August 2021 storm dropped 1.5 inch hail in town. Brandon licenses its own contractors and accepts a Sioux Falls license in place of its exam.
Harrisburg
The youngest town on the list, with a median build year of 2008. Its 2000s houses, 36.5% of the town, are reaching their first reroof in Harrisburg.
Tea
Tea’s median home value, $351,100, is the highest on the list apart from Renner’s, which comes from a tiny sample. Three EF2 tornadoes on 10 September 2019 caused $6.8 million in damage there, the worst entry in Tea’s storm record.
Hartford
The 12 May 2022 derecho tore the roof off a truck stop in Hartford. The town mixes houses from before 1960 with a 2000s building wave, two very different kinds of Hartford roof job.
Dell Rapids
Nearly half the homes in Dell Rapids were built before 1980. The 5 August 2021 hail path began just south of town, and NOAA logged significant roof damage along it.
Lennox
On 28 August 2021, 74-knot winds stripped most of the rubber roof off Lennox High School. More than half of the houses in Lennox predate 1980.
Canton
Canton has the oldest housing on the list. Half its homes were built before 1960, so most Canton roofs have been replaced at least once.
Crooks
Crooks wants a permit before any work starts and a city contractor license backed by a $10,000 bond. Its 2000s houses, 23.2% of the town, are reaching a first reroof in Crooks.
Garretson
On 22 June 2015, winds estimated at 100 mph destroyed at least one house in Garretson. About six in ten homes there predate 1980, so most Garretson roofs are past their first.
Valley Springs
Three in four homes in Valley Springs predate 1980, the highest share on the list. On 30 May 2022 an EF1 tornado tore much of a church roof off near Valley Springs.
Worthing
Worthing built 58% of its homes from 1990 to 2009. Wind up to 90 mph hit near town on 28 August 2021, the worst night in Worthing’s wind record.
Renner
Renner is unincorporated, so Minnehaha County sets the permit rules. On 5 August 2021, NOAA logged hail up to 3.5 inches and the worst roof damage of that storm near Renner.

Are roofing rules the same in every town?
No. Sioux Falls, Brandon and Crooks each license contractors. Crooks also wants a permit before any work starts, and Minnehaha County issues permits outside town limits, including in Renner. The rules in the other towns were not confirmed.
Some things hold statewide. South Dakota does not license roofers, but every contractor needs a state contractor’s excise tax license. State law also bars residential roofers from promising to pay your insurance deductible (SDCL 37-24-50), and it lets you cancel a written storm damage roofing contract within 72 hours of signing (SDCL 37-24-51).
Outside Sioux Falls, call the town office before work starts and ask two things: does a reroof need a permit, and does the roofer need a town license?
What if my town is not on the list?
Send the request anyway. Requests from somewhere else near Sioux Falls are welcome. Put your town in the form so the right contractor sees it.
