The Building Department page quotes Town Code Sec. 15.04.030, "Building permits—General requirement": "The Town of Dolores is currently enforcing the 2021 International Building code and its family of codes via Ordinance #555 series 2021 approved and adopted November 8, 2021... The building code and this chapter prohibits any person, firm or corporation from erecting, constructing, enlarging, altering, repairing, improving, moving or demolishing, any building or structure without first obtaining a separate building permit for each building or structure from the Town Clerk as authorized by the town board." The Town's separate "When is a building permit required?" FAQ sheet, built around the adopted code's Section 105.1/105.2 permit and exemption language, includes a "Common questions" list stating directly: "Do I need a permit to replace my roof? a. YES." That sheet also confirms permits ARE required to move/add a wall, build a deck, sheetrock a room, or enclose a garage, and are NOT required for painting, flooring/carpet replacement, or like-for-like window replacement. To request a building permit application, the page directs applicants to call Ryan Greene at 970-882-7720 ext. 5 or email [email protected]; a Permit Fee Calculator is linked from the fee schedule page. No Town-level contractor license or registration requirement is stated on the Town's own pages, so contractor_registration_required is not asserted here.

"The Town of Dolores is currently enforcing the 2021 International Building code and its family of codes via Ordinance #555 series 2021 approved and adopted November 8, 2021," per Town Code Sec. 15.04.030 as quoted on the Building Department page. The Town's separate FAQ sheet reproduces ICC Section 105.1 (permit required for construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, moving, demolition, or occupancy change) and Section 105.2 (work exempt from permit) verbatim as the basis for its permit-trigger guidance. The full ordinance text was not itself published on the Town's site; the page directs residents to call Town Hall at 970-882-7720 to request a copy.
