Baca County is listed by the Colorado Division of Housing among Colorado jurisdictions without building departments; in such jurisdictions there is no local building department to issue building permits or perform building-code inspections.

Not required — Baca County enforces no building code, so no local instrument imposes an impact-resistance requirement. The Board of County Commissioners' land use letter of February 22, 2017 - the County's own statement of its zoning and land use regulations - was reviewed in full and confirms the County has no zoning or land use regulations apart from septic system rules and does not require building permits. Baca County Ordinance No. 7 (adopted April 23, 2026), the County's open fire and open burning ordinance, was also reviewed in full; it regulates outdoor burning and fire bans only and contains no roof-covering, impact-resistance, or UL 2218 provision. The only statewide instrument reaching reroofing is the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, 8 CCR 1507-39, effective July 1, 2026 in areas designated wildland-urban interface under that code, which requires a Class A roof covering tested to ASTM E108 or UL 790 where 25 percent or more of the roof surface is replaced, at Sections 101.6 and 403.2; that is a fire classification independent of impact rating, and the code sets no impact-resistance requirement.
