Registration details
  • license: The Town's own page states: "A municipal business license is required to conduct business within the Town of Brookside." Town of Brookside Ordinance No. 01-2011, Section 1 ("Business License Required"), provides: "It is unlawful for any business owner to conduct any business or enterprise for profit within the Town without first having obtained a business license as provided in this Ordinance," defining "business owner" broadly as "an individual, corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, or any other commercial entit[y] conducting any lawful activity for profit" (excluding only home-based businesses from the definition, not from the requirement). The license is issued by the Town Clerk for a $25 annual fee, requires a premises inspection by the Mayor prior to issuance per Section 5, and must be renewed by December 1 each year; renewal is denied if the business owner lacks "a valid state sales tax license[] or any other license necessary for business owner to conduct business." The Ordinance does not name contractors or roofers specifically, and the Town's own application form asks whether the business is "Home-based" or on "Commercial Property," suggesting the license was drafted with a local business premises in mind; it is set true here on the ordinance's plain, unqualified "any business or enterprise for profit within the Town" language, which does not exempt contractors performing paid work in Town.
Permit process note
The Building Permits page states: "All building permits for the Town of Brookside are issued only by the Town of Brookside. Do NOT purchase building permits from Fremont County." It further states: "You or your contractor must contact the Building Inspector, Randy Babb, to obtain a permit for: New construction, Remodeling work, Major repairs, Roofing work, Structural changes to existing buildings, including siding, porches, roofs, solar panels, and windows." Building Inspector: Randy Babb, (719) 280-3714; permit applications are emailed to the Town Clerk at [email protected]. The page also notes: "The Town's Building Inspector cannot approve or sign off on work without documentation of septic, electrical, and plumbing inspections." Septic permits come from the Fremont County Health Department; electrical and plumbing permits are issued by the State of Colorado out of the Fremont County Administration Building.
Adopted code
"The Town of Brookside has adopted the following codes: International Building Code (IBC) 2018 Edition, International Residential Code (IRC) 2018 Edition, International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2006 Edition, FEMA Flood Damage Prevention Regulations."
Drip edge
Required — The Town's own Building Permit Application, under the Building Inspector's "Building Site Analysis" checklist, states: "Replace valley metal, drip edge, and transition flashing as needed." The Town issues its own building permits directly and requires a permit for roofing work; drip edge and transition flashing are listed as required items on the Town's own inspection checklist for roof work. About drip edge
Deck & sheathing requirements
The Town's own Building Permit Application, under the Building Inspector's "Building Site Analysis" checklist, states: "Roof structures with dimensional lumber must be overlaid with approved plywood/OSB sheathing." The same checklist separately requires composite (asphalt) shingles to use a minimum of 5 fasteners equally spaced, with staples not approved as an installation method.
Sales & use tax
5.4% combined (state 2.9% + Fremont County 2.50%; the Town of Brookside itself imposes no municipal sales tax). The January 2026 DR 1002 "State-Collected Colorado County Sales Tax" table prints Fremont County's rate as 2.50%, with a 2.50% use tax reaching "Motor Vehicles, Building Materials". Brookside does not appear anywhere in DR 1002 -- not in the "State-Collected City Sales Taxes" table, where it would fall alphabetically between Blue River and Brush, and not in the "Home Rule Cities For Which The State Does Not Collect Local Sales Tax" table -- consistent with the Town imposing no local sales tax of its own; DR 1002 lists only cities and counties that have adopted a sales tax. No special district in DR 1002's Special Districts tables names Fremont County or the Brookside area in its boundary description.
