Roofing in Renner, South Dakota
Renner is unincorporated, so Minnehaha County, not a city, sets the permit rules. It also sat under the worst of the 5 August 2021 hail, with stones up to 3.5 inches.
What did the 2021 hail do in Renner?
Significant roof damage, by NOAA’s account. On the evening of 5 August 2021 it logged 2.5 inch hail 1 mile southeast of Renner and 3.5 inch hail 2 miles south-southeast a minute later. The damage ran along a path from south of Dell Rapids to Renner to near Brandon, worst near Renner, and NOAA estimated it at $500,000.
A roof replaced after that storm is about five years old now. One that was never checked may still carry the damage, so start with what hail damage looks like.
Wind comes through too. NOAA estimated a 75 mph gust near Renner on 13 June 2017, converted from knots, and on 14 April 2022 high wind shut I-29 between Baltic and Renner after two semis overturned.
Who issues roofing permits in Renner?
Minnehaha County Planning. Renner sits in Mapleton Township, and the county handles permits for land outside city limits.
Our reading of the county’s residential building handbook is that a reroof needs a permit. The handbook requires a permit before any building is altered, repaired or improved, and roofing is not on its exempt list. The fee is $60 or 0.4% of construction cost, whichever is greater. Start work before the permit is issued and the fee doubles, and the double fee may be charged for each week.
The county did not answer the question directly, so confirm with Minnehaha County Planning and Zoning at 605-367-4204, or the county building inspector at 605-360-8507, before work starts.
The same handbook says the smoke alarm upgrade rules do not apply to replacing roofing or siding.
What are the homes like around Renner?
Acreages and rural houses north of Sioux Falls. The Census place is called Renner Corner, and it had 347 people and 154 homes in 2020. Every home in the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey sample was owner-occupied and detached.
The houses lean old. The survey’s median build year is 1979, with 29.2% built before 1940 and none since 2010. Its median value, $465,600, carries a margin of plus or minus $311,604, so it tells you very little.
Does a Sioux Falls roofing license cover Renner?
No. The Sioux Falls license applies only inside Sioux Falls city limits. Statewide, South Dakota has no roofing license, and every contractor needs a state excise tax license, with its number posted with the building permit. Before you sign, run the checks on a roofer.
