Is $400 to apply for a roof permit and schedule inspection a fair price?

Project Details

I'm a new homeowner and not familiar with the permit and inspection process for a roof replacement. I'm considering applying for the permit myself to save the $400 fee the roofer charges, but I want to ensure there are no hidden complexities or 'gotchas'. The roofer came highly recommended and appears reputable, with all licenses and insurance checking out.

Quote Details

The roofer offers to handle the permit application and schedule the necessary inspection for the roof replacement project. This service includes a processing fee charged by the roofer, in addition to the actual permit fees. - Service: Permit application and inspection scheduling - Fee: $400 processing fee (excluding actual permit costs)
