Farragut is a town of about 25,000 people on the western edge of Knox County, with part of the town reaching into Loudon County. It runs its own building codes office, separate from both Knoxville and Knox County, and it has published a clear rule on re-roofing: unless structural modifications are needed, the town does not typically require a building permit for it. That makes one question matter more than usual on a Farragut roof, which is the condition of the decking underneath. If rotten or delaminated boards have to be replaced, the job may no longer be purely cosmetic. We check the deck during the inspection, tell you what we see, and talk to the town when it is borderline. Farragut shares west Knox County's weather, including the August 2023 tornado that damaged roofs a few miles north.
