Hazel Green Homeowners Planning a New Roof
Hazel Green is a census-designated place in Madison County, north of Huntsville, with 4,105 people counted in 2020. As a CDP it has no town government, so roofing permits come through Madison County. The county's rule is simple to remember: a re-roof needs a permit no matter what it costs.
This is a smaller community than Madison, AL or Huntsville, and the public record on it is thinner too. So this page sticks to what's been verified: the permit office, two storm records and the cost figures. Anything else about your roof, an HBLB-licensed roofer will learn by inspecting it for free.
Roofs and Homes in Hazel Green
We haven't found reliable housing figures for Hazel Green itself, so we won't guess at home values or roof ages. For a nearby comparison, Census QuickFacts shows that 92.5% of homes in nearby Meridianville are owner-occupied. That's Meridianville's number, not Hazel Green's, and it's shown only as county context.
What we can say is that the roof on your home is the one that matters. A roofer looking at it in person can tell you its rough age, whether the decking is sound, and whether shingles or metal makes more sense for how long you plan to stay.

Tornadoes on Record Near Hazel Green
Two storm records name Hazel Green directly, and both link it to the Tennessee line. On April 27, 2011, the EF5 track, with a peak of 210 mph, passed Hazel Green on its way into Tennessee. That day, 39 tornadoes struck the NWS Huntsville warning area, 100 people died, and Madison County recorded 6 tornado impacts.
More recently, on May 9, 2024, a tornado entering from Tennessee ran from about 4 miles north-northeast of Hazel Green to about 3 miles east-southeast of New Market, AL. The NWS database lists it as "F1," as written. A second tornado crossed near New Market, AL the same day.
For planning, the NWS Huntsville office lists March through May as peak tornado months, with a second, smaller season in October and November. Hail is most likely from March to June. None of this means your roof is damaged; it just tells you when a check-up is most useful.

The state's Strengthen Alabama Homes grants don't currently cover Madison County. Its website, StrengthenAlabamaHomes.com, shows which counties are in the program.
Why Hazel Green Homeowners Start Here
- A roofer you can look up. Alabama requires a roofer license for jobs over $2,500, and the HBLB number must appear on contracts and ads. Check it on the HBLB lookup.
- A cooling-off window. If your insurer denies a claim in writing, you can cancel the roofing contract by midnight of the fifth business day, and nothing is owed before that.
- Honest about deductibles. Any offer to cover your deductible is a warning sign. It can be insurance fraud, and it pressures you to sign fast.

Common Questions From Hazel Green
Who issues roofing permits in Hazel Green?
Madison County Building Inspection, at 266-A Shields Road in Huntsville. Hazel Green is a census-designated place, not a city, so there's no local permit office. The county requires a permit for re-roofing regardless of cost. Call (256) 746-2950 on weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Did the May 2024 tornado hit Hazel Green?
The NWS database lists a tornado on May 9, 2024, that entered from Tennessee and ran from about 4 miles north-northeast of Hazel Green toward New Market, AL. It's rated "F1" there. If your roof is near that path and hasn't been looked at, a free inspection is a sensible step.
Is there a grant for a FORTIFIED roof in Hazel Green?
Not at present. Strengthen Alabama Homes doesn't offer grants in Madison County right now. What does apply statewide is the insurance side: insurers must offer FORTIFIED discounts, plus an optional endorsement to fund a FORTIFIED Bronze roof whenever an insured loss calls for replacement.
Can the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
No. Alabama law doesn't let residential roofers represent or negotiate a homeowner's insurance claim. The roofer can inspect, photograph and write up the damage, which gives your insurer a clear record to work from. After that, you, your insurer or a licensed public adjuster take it from there.

Both are on our list of Madison County service towns, and both fall under the same county permit office. Type your ZIP into the area check for a quick answer, or call (256) 555-0174 and ask. Coverage is set by town, not by distance.
