Town of Foxfield Building Permits (SAFEbuilt Inc.)
Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Foxfield, CO, issued by Town of Foxfield Building Permits (SAFEbuilt Inc.). "Building permits are issued by SAFEbuilt Inc." Technical questions go to the Town Clerk or Tom Pitchford, the Building Official ([email protected], 303-941-4429). A "New Streamlined Application Process" (live 4/28/2023) lets applicants submit an online application, track permit status, request inspections, and download issued permits and approved plans through the "Community Connect" portal. All accessory structures over 120 sq ft (barns, garages, sheds, etc.) must meet Zoning Regulation design requirements — architectural rendering, elevation drawings, and site plans are required for Town review/approval before applying for a building permit. New Electrician License Contemporaneous Review Guidelines apply per the State of Colorado for projects requiring electrical work. The Town publishes a dedicated "Residential Reroofing Requirements" handout (Current Code cited as 2015 IRC): a contractor must provide access with a safe, secured ladder; a mid-roof inspection is NOT required for asphalt shingles but IS required for tile/slate; one overlay is permitted; ice-and-water shield is not required; asphalt shingles must meet Table R905.2.4.1's nominal 3-second-gust wind speed of 115 MPH; double underlayment is required for pitches from 2:12 up to 4:12; asphalt shingles cannot be used on pitches under 2:12; damaged/deteriorated vent caps or pipe/vent flashing must be replaced; adequate attic ventilation should be added if not existing; and "ALL PERMITS MUST BE FINALED.".

Inspection requirements
Inspections are coordinated through SAFEbuilt/the Community Connect portal, which lets applicants "track permit status, request inspections and download issued permits and approved plans." An "Inspection Line" is published on the Town's Residential Reroofing Requirements handout: 1-720-641-1956. Per that handout, a mid-roof inspection is not required for asphalt shingle reroofs but is required for tile/slate reroofs, and "ALL PERMITS MUST BE FINALED."
Adopted code
The Town's Building Permits page states building projects must "comply with the Uniform Building Code in addition to specific requirements and design standards as adopted in the Town of Foxfield Zoning Regulations," without citing an edition year. The Town's separate Residential Reroofing Requirements handout, distributed through SAFEbuilt, cites "Current Code 2015 IRC" specifically for reroofing work (Table R905.2.4.1 wind-speed provisions, double-underlayment slope thresholds, etc.).
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the Town of Foxfield. § 18-2-30, Amendments to the 2015 IRC, was read in full (18 numbered items, textually exhaustive, Ord. 07 §2, 2016) and contains no R905.2.8.5 item, so the base 2015 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code.
About drip edgeIce & water shield
Not required — Table R301.2(1) as filled in by § 18-2-30, item (10), prints "Ice Shield Underlayment Required" as "NO." This corroborates the Town's separately cited SAFEbuilt Residential Reroofing Requirements handout, which independently states "ice-and-water shield is not required."
About ice & water barrierImpact-resistant roofing
Not required — Foxfield Municipal Code § 18-2-30, Amendments to the 2015 IRC, was read in full (18 numbered items, textually exhaustive) and contains no UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision anywhere.
Wind design criteria
Table R301.2(1) as filled in by Foxfield Municipal Code § 18-2-30, item (10) (2015 IRC, Ord. 07 §2, 2016) prints: Ground Snow Load "30 psf", "Wind Speed (mph)" printed verbatim as '115 X "C"' (an apparent drafting artifact in the town's own table), Seismic Design Category "B", Weathering "Severe", Frost Line Depth "30 in.", Termite "Slight to Moderate", Winter Design Temp "1", Flood Hazard "Per Town Ordinance", Air Freezing Index "1000", Mean Annual Temp "45°F". (This is distinct from the separately published SAFEbuilt reroof handout's Table R905.2.4.1 shingle wind-resistance classification, which is a different table.)
Sales & use tax
8.0% combined (state 2.9% + Arapahoe County Open Space 0.25% + RTD 1.0% + SCFD 0.1% + Town of Foxfield 3.75%), per the Colorado Department of Revenue's DR 1002 publication. Foxfield is state-collected; DR 1002's own city table row reads "Foxfield Arapahoe 3.75%" with a 3% town use tax specifically on Building Materials — the roofing-relevant figure for permitted work. The SCFD component applies county-wide: DR 1002 defines that district as "all areas within the county boundaries of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Jefferson, Denver and Broomfield." The RTD component follows DR 1002's printed boundary for Arapahoe County — "south of I-70, generally west of Picadilly Rd. to Jewell, then west of Gun Club Rd. to Quincy, then generally west of Monaghan Rd." — which encompasses the Town of Foxfield's location west of Gun Club Road; confirm with the Town if a parcel-level determination matters. 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.

Foxfield contracts building permit issuance and plan review out to SAFEbuilt, Inc., a third-party municipal building-services provider, rather than administering permits with town staff or delegating to Arapahoe County; the Town's own page notes its building regulations "differ from those of Arapahoe County and should be reviewed prior to starting a project."
