The county's basic permit threshold is any building that has a roof and is 120 square feet or larger.
Inspection requirements
A mid-roof inspection is required after the roof covering is removed. Inspections are requested through the Planning and Zoning Department at 970-542-3526 or the building inspector at 970-768-7197, and all work must be inspected and approved prior to concealment.
Adopted code
In 2010, Morgan County adopted the 2009 International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Energy Conservation Code and the International Mechanical Code.
