Declared cost on the permit application is not the contract price. It is what the applicant wrote on the form. It can sit below the signed contract, and permits do not say how big the roof was. Read it as the spread of real jobs, not as a quote.

Each bar runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile of declared cost. The dark tick is the median. The grey band is our guide range, the national base, because we have no city index for Anaheim.

Questions

What did re-roof permits in Anaheim declare in 2025?

196 permits passed our filters. The median declared value was $15,000, and half of the permits declared $10,000 to $22,125.

Is the permit value what the roofer charged?

Not necessarily. The value is the cost the applicant declared on the permit application. It can differ from the signed contract, and it is not an invoice. Use it to see the spread of real jobs, and get written quotes for your own roof.

How does this compare with your cost guide for Anaheim?

The 2025 median of $15,000 falls inside our guide range of $7,000 to $15,500. Ours is a modelled price for a 2,000 sq ft asphalt roof; the permit figure is what applicants declared on real jobs, where roof size, material and bundled work are not recorded.

Where does the data come from?

From the city's open-data portal, Accela Building Permits (services3.arcgis.com, dataset Accela_Building_Permits), retrieved October 9, 2026. We keep permits with a re-roof description, drop repairs, solar, additions and new builds, keep declared values between $1,000 and $150,000, and count each permit number once.

Why are some years missing?

We publish a year only when it has at least 30 permits after filtering, and the current year is marked as partial until the portal has data past mid-December.
