Town of Naturita

Adopted code

The building permit authority for the Town of Naturita, a small municipality in Montrose County on Colorado's Western Slope. The Town runs its own Development Application process for new construction and additions, posted on its site as "BUILDINGPERMIT.pdf," with a published fee schedule and plan-review/inspection checklists that call out roofing material, roof pitch, and roof ventilation design. Note: the Town's domain (townofnaturita.org) currently serves a TLS certificate issued to an unrelated third-party domain, though the site content itself (title "Welcome to Town of Naturita," Town Hall contact details, official forms) confirms it is the Town's genuine, still-functioning site.

Permit process note
The Town's "Development Application" form (posted as BUILDINGPERMIT.pdf) is used for building/construction projects and lists an "Application Fee" of $35.00 plus an "Inspection Fee ($40 per inspection)," a Use Tax collected "on building materials purchased outside the town and/or county at the following rates: Montrose County 1%, Naturita 3%," with a note that "Use tax must be received prior to issue of Certificate of Occupancy." Minimum requirements for plan review/building permit application state the application must include "Two complete sets of plans including wetseal," a plot plan, and a "Typical section view" showing (among other elements) "Roofing material," "Pitch of roof," and "Roof ventilation design." Permit fees required include a "Building permit fee - according to valuation," "Plan review fee $50.00 per hour," with separate State Inspectors listed for plumbing and electrical permits.
Inspection requirements
The Town's inspection checklist ("Minimum Foundation Standards / Requirements for Inspections") lists, under the Framing inspection stage: "Has the electrical rough-in been approved by the State Inspector? Has the plumbing rough-in been approved by the State Inspector? Has the access permit been approved by the County or State? Is the roofing complete or at least dried in? Are the exterior doors and windows installed? Are the interior stairs roughed-in?" Final inspection requires State Electrical and Plumbing Inspector approval and confirmation "the house completed according to the building permit plans."
Adopted code
The Development Application form's permit-fee list references "1997 U.M.C." (Uniform Mechanical Code) for the mechanical permit fee table, and its insulation requirement states installations "Must comply with prescriptive energy code requirements or 1997 Model Energy Codes." The form is undated and may not reflect the Town's current adopted edition (if any has since superseded it); no more recent adopted-code statement was found on the Town's site.
