The City's Forms, Permits and Applications page states under "Building Permits": "SAFEBuilt is the Building Official for Central City. All applications and inspections should be completed through the online portal Community Core that can be found here. All questions shall be directed to SAFEBuilt and can be reached at (303) 450-8746 or [email protected]." The City's Planning and Historic Preservation page states: "If you are completing work on a property in the Historic District, a Certificate of Appropriateness must be obtained," pointing to published Historic Design Guidelines, and notes that "[a]ll permits require 2 weeks advanced notice for review and approval process." The City separately runs a Historic Preservation Restoration Reimbursement Grant Program that names roof repair among eligible exterior work (capped at $10,000 per property, up to 50% reimbursed) but states "[t]he program has been suspended for 2025" — this is a grant program, not a permit requirement, and is noted for context only. Municipal Code Sec. 18-1-10 (read in-browser via the City's hosted code): "No building or work on any building shall be commenced within the City without first obtaining a building permit as required by this Article and the codes adopted herein and paying the appropriate building permit fee," and the City Council "may retain an independent contractor to serve as the Building Department" (the SAFEbuilt arrangement; Ord. 23-07, 6-20-2023). roofing_permit_required is set true on that general no-work-without-a-permit language together with the adopted 2018 IBC's coverage of alteration and repair — no roofing-specific city handout was found.

Municipal Code Sec. 18-1-20 (Adoption of codes; Ord. 23-07, 6-20-2023): "The International Building Code, 2018 Edition, Sixth Printing, November 2021, as amended, and appendices G, I and J ... is hereby adopted by reference as the City of Central Building Code," with local amendments (including fire-code coordination amendments to IBC Chapter 9). The chapter's remaining articles adopt companion fire and related codes; conflicts resolve in favor of the specific provisions of the City of Central Municipal Code.
