Town of Deer Trail Building Permits

Adopted code

The building permit authority for the Town of Deer Trail, Arapahoe County. The Town administers building permits itself under the building regulations of Ordinance No. 253 (the "town" performs the functions the International Codes assign to a "building official"); all permit applications are submitted online via web form. Code enforcement (property maintenance/nuisance complaints, as distinct from building permitting) is contracted out to a third-party compliance specialist.

Permit process note
All Town of Deer Trail permits, including building permits, must be completed online via a web form; applicants receive a confirmation email as the Town processes the application. Ordinance No. 253 (adopted 2016) makes it "unlawful for any person to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter, remove or change the use of any building or other structure within the town without first obtaining all permits required by the Building Code," and provides that anyone who commences work before obtaining the necessary permit is subject to a fee equal to 100% of the original building fee in addition to the required permit fees. The Town's public ordinance list does not carry a roofing-specific permit requirement or a published contractor-licensing/registration program, so those items are not asserted here; a caller should confirm reroofing- specific permitting directly with Town Hall.
Adopted code
Ordinance No. 253, an emergency ordinance passed in 2016, adopts by reference the International Building Code, 2012 Edition; the International Plumbing Code, 2012 Edition; the International Mechanical Code, 2012 Edition; the International Fire Code, 2012 Edition; the International Fuel Gas Code, 2012 Edition; the International Residential Code, 2012 Edition; the International Energy Conservation Code, 2009 Edition; the International Property Maintenance Code, 2012 Edition; the International Existing Building Code, 2012 Edition (all as published by the International Code Council); and the National Electrical Code, "most current edition adopted by the State of Colorado," as published by the National Fire Protection Association. This is the most recent building- code adoption ordinance found in the Town's published ordinance list.
