The Town's "Forms, Permits & Licenses" page and its "Building Permits" sub-page (both rendered client-side via Munibit widgets, so they do not appear in a plain HTML fetch) list "Building Permit Inspections" and "Applications" as the two building-permit sections, with "Applications" linking separate CommunityCore portal registration flows for "PROPERTY OWNERS" and "CONTRACTORS." A "Build Permit Codes, Submittal Requirements, and Checklists" section covers "Residential, Commercial Tenant Finish/Remodel, New Commercial, and Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens" and links four attachments: a "2024 Client Design Criteria Ault" sheet, a "2026 SAFEbuilt RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION CHECK LIST," and revised Commercial Tenant Finish and New Commercial plan-submittal-procedure documents. The 2026 SAFEbuilt residential checklist states plan review is performed by SAFEbuilt Colorado and requires (electronically) a completed application, a plot plan, architectural/floor plans, engineer- stamped structural plans, electrical/mechanical plans, a soils report, Manual J/D/S calculations, and 2024 IECC energy-code compliance documentation (ResCheck or an energy-rating report); the approved, printed plan set must stay on site through final inspection. No page states a roofing- or reroof-specific permit requirement, so roofing_permit_required is not asserted here; likewise no explicit contractor-license/registration requirement statement was found (the "Contractor Licensing" link on the Forms & Permits page routes to the same CommunityCore registration flow as the general Applications section, without stated licensing criteria on the Town's own pages), so contractor_registration_required is not asserted either.

The Town's "2024 Client Design Criteria Ault" sheet lists, for residential construction, the 2024 International Residential Code, 2024 Energy Conservation Code, and 2023 National Electrical Code; for commercial construction, the 2024 International Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, and Energy Codes plus the 2023 National Electrical Code and 2024 Pool and Spa Code; and, as other adopted codes, the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code and 2024 International Existing Building Code, alongside state Electric Ready/Solar Ready/EV Ready requirements. The same sheet lists a 115 mph ultimate design wind speed, 30 psf roof live load/15 psf dead load, and states "Ice and water shield required" and "Under floor protection required" as special requirements. The Building Permits page's own "Build Permit Codes" list matches on the 2024 IRC/IBC/IECC/IFGC/IPC(UPC)/IMC(UMC) and 2023 NEC editions; the design-criteria sheet is linked from that page.
