Hancock County · Your property, considered carefully
Locate the property, then list the roofed buildings.
Hancock County’s planning documents describe both rural areas and growth around local communities. A property near Greenfield, Fortville, McCordsville, or New Palestine still needs its own jurisdiction and scope check. Use the full address to identify the appropriate reviewing office.
Give the inspector a list of included buildings, known roof ages, earlier repairs, and current water concerns. If work involves an addition or a separate shop, ask how its covering and flashing differ from the main house. Keep drainage observations and roof findings together without assuming the source of a leak.
Before making an exterior change
Hancock County parcel and mapping resources. Confirm the requirements for your exact address and proposed work before ordering materials.

Plan around the details
Parcel location and a useful water timeline.
Use the address and property map
The county GIS can help locate the parcel. Confirm planning responsibility with the relevant office before work is scheduled.
Identify all roofed buildings
List house, porch, garage, and workshop separately. Ask which areas are assessed now and which are outside the proposal.
Bring the water timeline
Record where and when water appears. Have the recommendation tied to documented conditions rather than a countywide weather claim.
Choose the work that fits
Start with the roof. Consider the whole exterior.
Repair the documented problem
Ask where the work starts and stops, how it connects to the existing roof, and what remains outside the repair.
Compare a complete replacement
Review removal, decking, flashing, ventilation, materials, cleanup, and written warranty documents. Use the free estimate worksheet to compare proposals.
Connect the exterior work
Mention gutter overflow, fascia damage, siding transitions, windows, and attic concerns. Confirm which related work is included and what needs separate evaluation.

Before you book
Useful answers for Hancock County homeowners.
Where can I check project requirements for my Hancock County address?
Start with Hancock County parcel and mapping resources and describe the exact address and proposed work. Confirm the reviewing office, any exterior or association approval, and who is responsible for the application before work is scheduled.
What should I discuss before the roofing work in Hancock County?
The county GIS can help locate the parcel. Confirm planning responsibility with the relevant office before work is scheduled. List house, porch, garage, and workshop separately. Ask which areas are assessed now and which are outside the proposal.
Does a leak always mean I need a new roof?
No. Ask for the documented source, the condition around it, and the limits of a proposed repair. The findings should explain why repair or replacement is recommended; roof age or an interior stain alone does not settle the decision.
What should I bring to a free roof inspection?
Bring earlier repair invoices, any known installation date, dated leak or storm observations, and written material requirements. Share access restrictions and identify every structure you want included. Roof access should remain with qualified personnel.
