The Town of Del Norte's Forms page states verbatim: "Please take note that the Town of Del Norte DOES NOT issue the building permit, for questions on building you need to contact the Building Department at Rio Grande County Department of Building Safety at 719-657-9472." Rio Grande County's Residential Building Packet states that a project located within the limits of Monte Vista or Del Norte requires an approved site permit from the town before the county building permit will be issued. Consistent with that, the Town of Del Norte's own Forms & Permits page offers a Zoning Verification Application for Building Permit, a Floodplain Permit Application, a Storage/Shipping Container Permit Application, and a Fence Affidavit Approval Application, but no town-issued building or roofing permit. The town publishes no roofing-specific or contractor-registration language of its own; the Rio Grande County Department of Building Safety sets the building-permit and roofing-permit requirements that apply within town limits.

Not required — The Town of Del Norte adopts the 2018 International Building Code and the 2018 International Residential Code, codified through Ordinance No. 783 enacted December 10, 2025, and the Colorado Energy Office's statewide building code adoption record lists the same 2018 edition. The building chapter and its amendment lists were reviewed in full. The chapter contains no roof covering requirement, no impact resistance requirement and no reference to UL 2218 or Class 4 roof coverings.
