Permit process note
Fowler's building permit application covers new buildings and changes to existing buildings (addition, shed, garage, pool, or other); roofing or reroofing is not listed as its own category on the form. Estimated town sales tax on materials must be paid before a building permit is issued, with sales tax paid to another jurisdiction refunded against receipts at completion. Each application includes a Town of Fowler Zoning Code Certificate of Compliance (setbacks, height, area) signed by the Town Clerk. Confirm with Town Hall whether a reroof on an existing building requires a permit as a "change to existing building."
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — The Town of Fowler adopts the 2006 International Building Code, codified through Ordinance No. 755-23 passed November 20, 2023, and the Colorado Energy Office's statewide building code adoption record lists the same 2006 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.
