Town of Hooper - Building Permits
Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Hooper, CO, issued by Town of Hooper - Building Permits. The Town's "Schedule A" 2024 Fee Schedule lists, under "Building Permit Fees," a valuation-based tiered fee table for "Building Permits" (e.g. "$1 - $500 : $22.50" up through "$1 Million and up : $5,318.75 up to $1 million and $3.13 for each add'l $1000"), and separately lists flat fees for "Roofing Permit $62.50," "Sign Permit $50.00," "Deck Permit $31.25," and "Fence Permit $31.25." The same fee schedule states: "Issuing of Addresses ... Physical addresses within the town limits will be issued at No cost to the owner of the property." The Municipal Code's sign-permit section states applications "shall be made in writing on forms prepared and furnished by Town Clerk," indicating the Town Clerk administers permit intake generally. No separate contractor-licensing or registration requirement is stated anywhere in the fee schedule or the 207-page Municipal Code; the word "contractor" appears only in unrelated procurement, nuisance, and penalty-clause contexts.

Registration details
- note: No contractor-specific registration or licensing requirement appears anywhere in the 207-page Municipal Code (searched in full for "contractor," "licen-," and "regist-"). Title VII, Chapter 1 ("Licenses"), Sec. 7-1-101 requires a Town license only for "any person to engage in the business of selling tangible personal property or providing taxable services" -- a general sales-tax vendor license administered by the Town Clerk, not a contractor-specific registration -- and Titles III and IV, where a Building title would ordinarily sit, are both marked "(RESERVED)" and contain no text. The word "contractor" elsewhere in the Code appears only in unrelated procurement, nuisance, and penalty-clause contexts.
Permit process note
The Town's "Schedule A" 2024 Fee Schedule lists, under "Building Permit Fees," a valuation-based tiered fee table for "Building Permits" (e.g. "$1 - $500 : $22.50" up through "$1 Million and up : $5,318.75 up to $1 million and $3.13 for each add'l $1000"), and separately lists flat fees for "Roofing Permit $62.50," "Sign Permit $50.00," "Deck Permit $31.25," and "Fence Permit $31.25." The same fee schedule states: "Issuing of Addresses ... Physical addresses within the town limits will be issued at No cost to the owner of the property." The Municipal Code's sign-permit section states applications "shall be made in writing on forms prepared and furnished by Town Clerk," indicating the Town Clerk administers permit intake generally. No separate contractor-licensing or registration requirement is stated anywhere in the fee schedule or the 207-page Municipal Code; the word "contractor" appears only in unrelated procurement, nuisance, and penalty-clause contexts.
Adopted code
The Town's Municipal Code states, among ordinances saved from repeal: "Ordinance No. 1-2023 – An Ordinance Adopting by Reference 2018 Editions of the International Building Code, 2018 International Residential Code, 2018 International Energy Conservation Code, and 2018 International Mechanical Code."
Drip edge
Required — The Town adopts the 2018 IRC by reference (Ordinance No. 1-2023, listed among the ordinances saved from repeal in the Town's Municipal Code). Titles III and IV of the Municipal Code -- the titles where local building-code provisions would sit -- are both marked "(RESERVED)" and contain no text anywhere in the 207-page code, so no local amendment touches Chapter 9 and the base 2018 IRC's drip-edge requirement at eaves and rakes applies unmodified.
About drip edgeImpact-resistant roofing
Not required — No provision anywhere in the Town's 207-page Municipal Code -- including its reserved Titles III and IV, where local building-code amendments would appear -- references UL 2218 or a Class 4 impact rating (searched the full code text for both terms; zero matches). The Town's sole building-code enactment, Ordinance No. 1-2023, is a pure by-reference adoption of the 2018 IBC, IRC, IECC, and IMC, and no other ordinance in the code's saved-from-repeal list or codified titles imposes an impact-resistant roofing mandate.
Roof layer limit / recover
The Town adopts the 2018 IRC by reference (Ordinance No. 1-2023). Titles III and IV of the Town's Municipal Code -- where local building-code provisions would sit -- are both marked "(RESERVED)" and contain no text anywhere in the 207-page code, so no local amendment touches Chapter 9 and the base IRC's roof-covering recovering-versus-replacement layer limit applies unmodified. Base-code rule, read at 2018 IRC Section R908.3.1.1 (Roof recover not allowed) and quoted here rather than left behind the ICC paywall: a roof recover "shall not be permitted" where "the existing roof has two or more applications of any type of roof covering" (nor where the existing covering is water soaked or deteriorated, or is slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile). One existing layer may therefore be recovered; a second existing layer forces tear-off to the deck.
Deck & sheathing requirements
The Town adopts the 2018 IRC by reference (Ordinance No. 1-2023). Titles III and IV of the Town's Municipal Code -- where local building-code provisions would sit -- are both marked "(RESERVED)" and contain no text anywhere in the 207-page code, so no local amendment touches Chapter 9 and the base IRC's roof deck sheathing provisions apply unmodified.
Sales & use tax
7.9% combined (state 2.9% + Alamosa County 3% + Town of Hooper 2%; no RTD/SCFD or RTA district applies -- Alamosa County is outside all such boundaries). Per CO DOR DR 1002 (a 2019/2020-vintage publication), Hooper is state-collected: DR 1002's "State-Collected City Sales Taxes" table prints Hooper's row as "Alamosa / 2% / 0 [service fee] / C [exemption] / None [use tax]," and its "State-Collected Colorado County Sales Tax" table prints Alamosa County's row as "3% / 3.33% [service fee] / None [use tax]." The Town's own Municipal Code and fee schedule do not separately state a sales-tax rate. The 3% Alamosa County figure was independently corroborated (not one of the five counties/districts DR 1002 has previously been caught stale on). 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.
