Town of Dinosaur - Building Permits
Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Dinosaur, CO, issued by Town of Dinosaur - Building Permits. The Municipal Code's local amendment to IBC/IRC Section 105.2 ("Work Exempt from Permit") lists twelve specific exemptions (small accessory structures, sidewalk/driveway repairs, painting, window awnings, etc.) and roofing is not among them. The Code separately states, regarding who may pull permits: "Property owners who are the bona fide owner of a one- or two-family dwelling which they use as a rental property and is not their primary residence, may acquire building permits for the following: Including, but not limited to roofing, siding, decks, covered porches/patios, interior framing, drywall and accessory buildings without living quarters, provided that the owner shall personally acquire the permit, purchase all material and shall personally perform all labor..." On contractor licensing, the Code states: "No permit shall be issued to any person to do or to cause to be done any work regulated by this Chapter, except to a person holding a valid, unexpired and unrevoked contractor's license if required by the Town or as otherwise provided in this Section," but the posted Code text does not include a separate contractor-licensing chapter with fees or a licensing board, so the scope of that requirement could not be independently confirmed.

Permit process note
The Municipal Code's local amendment to IBC/IRC Section 105.2 ("Work Exempt from Permit") lists twelve specific exemptions (small accessory structures, sidewalk/driveway repairs, painting, window awnings, etc.) and roofing is not among them. The Code separately states, regarding who may pull permits: "Property owners who are the bona fide owner of a one- or two-family dwelling which they use as a rental property and is not their primary residence, may acquire building permits for the following: Including, but not limited to roofing, siding, decks, covered porches/patios, interior framing, drywall and accessory buildings without living quarters, provided that the owner shall personally acquire the permit, purchase all material and shall personally perform all labor..." On contractor licensing, the Code states: "No permit shall be issued to any person to do or to cause to be done any work regulated by this Chapter, except to a person holding a valid, unexpired and unrevoked contractor's license if required by the Town or as otherwise provided in this Section," but the posted Code text does not include a separate contractor-licensing chapter with fees or a licensing board, so the scope of that requirement could not be independently confirmed.
Adopted code
"'Code' shall mean the International Building Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Residential Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Plumbing Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Mechanical Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Existing Building Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 Edition, with all appendices thereto; the International Energy Conservation Code, 2018 Edition, and all amendments to said Codes and/or Standards as of the date of this Title." (Sec. 12.08.070, Ord. 108 Sec.13, 2007; Amended Municipal Code Codification 2022). A local snow-load amendment adds: "Snow loads for the Town shall be forty (40) pounds," and a modified IRC Table R-301.2(1) sets Roof snow load (non-reducible) at 40 LB, wind speed at 90 mph, seismic design category B, weathering "Severe," and frost line depth at 48 inches.
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the Town of Dinosaur. Municipal Code § 12.14.020, "Additions, Modifications and Deletions" (the full 2018 IRC amendments section, running from Moving of Buildings through Demolition, Snow Loads, Section 105.2, Exceptions, Permit Fees, a lettered Deletions list, and a lettered Modifications list), was read in its entirety and does not delete or modify Section R905.2.8.5, so the base 2018 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code.

Required — Dinosaur Municipal Code § 12.14.020(VIII)(A)'s filled-in Table R-301.2(1) prints "Ice barrier underlayment required: Yes" as one of the added rows alongside the Town's other climatic design values.
About ice & water barrierImpact-resistant roofing
Not required — Dinosaur Municipal Code § 12.14.020, the full 2018 IRC amendments section (Moving of Buildings through the lettered Deletions and Modifications lists), was read in its entirety and contains no UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision anywhere.
Wind design criteria
Dinosaur Municipal Code § 12.14.020(VIII)(A) fills in IRC Table R-301.2(1) for the Town: "Roof snow load (non-reducible): 40 LB. Wind speed: 90 mph. Seismic design category: B. Weathering: Severe. Frost line depth: 48 inches. Termite: None. Winter design temp: 1 degree. Ice barrier underlayment required: Yes. Flood hazards: FIRM 1984. Air freezing index: 2307. Mean annual temperature: 41.8."
Sales & use tax
7.00% combined (state 2.9% + Moffat County 2% + Town of Dinosaur 2.10%; no RTD/SCFD/RTA district — Moffat County is not within the boundary of any Colorado Regional Transportation Authority). Per CO DOR DR 1002 (rev. 06/19/19, a 2019/2020-vintage publication; a live town or county page stating a current rate could not be located to corroborate against), the "State-Collected City Sales Taxes" table prints Dinosaur's row as "Moffat / 2.10% / 3.33% [service fee] / C,D [exemptions] / None [use tax]," and the "State-Collected Colorado County Sales Tax" table prints Moffat County's row as "2% / 3.33% [service fee] / E,K,L,M [exemptions] / None [use tax]." Re-verified 2026-08-27 against the January 2026 edition of Colorado Department of Revenue form DR 1002, read from a rendered image of its tables rather than from extracted text: the state, county and city figures above match that edition exactly. Where the text above names the June 19, 2019 revision of DR 1002, that describes the edition the figure was originally taken from and is not a current citation.
