Call your building permit office. They will know and tell you.

My inlaws cut 2/3 of the rafters n their house to put in massive skylights. The professional engineer in me CRINGED when I saw what they did. They did nothing to distribute the load. It’s a mess.

I asked my FIL what the building inspector had to say... he said they weren’t getting it inspected and that the carpenter that they paid cash to said it was fine.

It was so bad, it stressed me out. I’m waiting for a good dump of wet snow so I can see how much design factor remains...
