Permit process note
The Town's Building Code & Permits page states: "Our building code is for those that reside inside the one square mile of Calhan (town limits only)," and "Anything outside the town limits falls under Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (719-327-2880)" — meaning PPRBD serves unincorporated El Paso County construction near Calhan, not permits within the Town itself, which the Town issues directly. The page lists a sample fee schedule that itemizes "Re-Roof: $150" as a specific permit line item alongside Furnace, Water Heater, Siding ($150 each) and Demolition ($200), and states payment and approval must be obtained before building, with a final inspection required when the project is finished. All electrical permits are handled separately through the State of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, not the Town.
Inspection requirements
A re-inspection charge of $55 per inspection applies. A $100 fee applies to extend a permit for 6 additional months if it expires before inspection/work is completed. The page does not describe a specific roofing mid-roof or final-inspection protocol beyond the general permit process (contact the Town to schedule).
Adopted code
The page states: "We follow the International Building Code 2018." No specific IRC, IECC, or fire code edition is separately named on this page.
