Questions covered in this guide
Local considerations
San José’s reroof closeout can involve Form 303 for smoke and carbon-monoxide alarm verification even when the project does not need an interior inspection. Naming the verifier and retaining the completed form prevents that requirement from surfacing only at sign-off.
The guide makes an often separate interior alarm affidavit visible within San José reroof closeout. It assigns verification and truthful completion while distinguishing the organizing worksheet from the official signed statement.

San José’s Form 303 names reroofing as an example for its alarm affidavit when an interior inspection is not needed. The form directs completion before inspector sign-off, so the roofing closeout may involve a record beyond the roof surface.
Confirm the form for the actual permit
Verify the property is under San José’s authority and ask the permit holder which current alarm-verification requirements apply. Identify who will verify the conditions described in the form and who can truthfully complete it. Do not sign a statement because the roofing crew says it is routine if the underlying conditions have not been checked. Ask for professional help with any technical installation or compliance uncertainty.
Prepare an affidavit handoff sheet
Record the permit number, property address, current form version, person verifying the alarms, person completing the form, and location of the completed document. Add a row for any unresolved correction and the responsible party. Keep the official form’s instructions with this sheet instead of copying a partial list of alarm locations from memory. The worksheet organizes responsibility; it does not replace the official declaration or serve as an alarm inspection.
Save the completed closeout record
Ask the contractor to confirm that the required document is available for the city’s sign-off process and retain the actual inspection outcome. Keep this record with the roof contract and material documents. This guide does not certify alarm placement or guarantee that no interior inspection will be needed. The national roof calculator cannot supply a San José compliance-work price. A complete proposal should identify any verification or correction work needed so the roof’s final administrative handoff is understood before installation ends.
