Permit process note
A building permit is required for most construction projects — the Town's "Do I Need A Building Permit?" page lists re-roofing among the projects requiring a permit (along with siding replacement, window replacement, and PV solar systems). Gutters and downspouts do not require a permit. Homeowners are advised to call the Building Division at 970-535-4477 with questions before starting a project.
Inspection requirements
Inspection requests are handled by SAFEbuilt (303-774-0454); the Town's building contacts include a SAFEbuilt building official (970-545-3555) and a permit technician (970-805-4197).
Adopted code
2024 editions of the International Building, Residential, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fuel Gas, Energy Conservation, Property Maintenance, Existing Building, and Pool and Spa Codes and the National Electrical Code (Ordinance 1092), plus the 2021 International Fire Code (Ordinance 1036) and Weld County on-site wastewater regulations (Ordinance 892).
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — The Town's controlling building-code ordinance, Ordinance No. 1092, adopted November 10, 2025 and enforced on and after January 1, 2026, which repealed and replaced Articles II through X of Chapter 18 and adopted the 2024 International Residential Code, was reviewed in full, including its complete list of IRC amendments and its completed Table R301.2(1) climatic and geographic design criteria. It contains no impact-resistance or UL 2218 Class 4 requirement, and it does not amend IRC Section R905.2.4. Ordinance No. 1104, which adds the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code to Chapter 18, was also reviewed in full and is a fire-classification instrument. Shingle repair or replacement not exceeding one square (100 square feet) per building is exempt from permit.
Sales & use tax
5.9% combined (state 2.9% + Weld County 0%, no county sales tax + Town of Mead 3%; no RTD/SCFD/RTA district applies). Weld County does not appear in Colorado Department of Revenue form DR 1002's "State-Collected Colorado County Sales Tax" table, meaning it levies no county sales tax. DR 1002 (rev. 06/19/19) lists Mead's own state-collected city rate as 2%, but that figure is stale: Mead Municipal Code § 4-4-40(a), as amended by Ordinance No. 1046 (§ 3, 8-28-2023), currently reads "Commencing on January 1, 2022, there is imposed on all sales of tangible personal property at retail or furnishing of services in the Town... a tax equal to three percent (3%)," raised from the 2% rate DR 1002 still shows. 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.
