The Building Department page states: "The Town of Alma building department issues permits and verifies compliant construction for properties located within the Town Limits. For projects outside of Town Limits, please contact the Park County Building Department." Applicants "download the permit application and submit to the email address listed on the form," and "Permit fees are calculated after submission of the application." The page also notes: "The Town does not issue separate plumbing, Electrical or Mechanical sub permits, only one project permit that includes those scopes of work," and that "The Town of Alma now has certified inspectors for plumbing and electrical systems, the Town of Alma permits all work within the Town. State of Colorado (DORA) permits are no longer needed." On roofing specifically, the page quotes adopted code section "R905.1.2 Ice Barriers: An ice dam protection that consists of an approved self-adhering modified bitumen sheet underlayment shall be used at all sloped roofs without a continuous membrane. This ice dam protection underlayment shall extend up the slope of the roof from the drip edge of the roof or eave and cover the entire roof deck surface. In new construction, ice dam protection shall extend a minimum 30 inches up walls adjacent to the roof surface." No mention of any Park County contractor/roofer licensing requirement (e.g. a "Roofer Contractor C" license, as required by neighboring Fairplay) appears on either this Building Department page or the Town's Municipal Code landing page (townofalma.com/municipal-code/, checked for "contractor"/"license"/ "registration"/"county" terms) - no such requirement is recorded here because Alma's own official pages do not state one.

"Effective January 1, 2026, the Town of Alma updated to the 2024 ICC codes series."
