Town of Norwood - Permit and Development Application

Town of Norwood, Colorado

city

1670 Naturita St, Norwood, CO 81423

The Town's "Permit and Development Application" PDF (found under Applications & Permits) has the applicant select an application type including "Application and/or Approval for Building Permit," pay "town legal fees, planning fees and other applicable fees as set forth in the Land Use Code and Land Use Fee Ordinance No. 0611 Series 2025," and have the Town Planner/Admin verify compliance with USE, HEIGHT, SETBACKS, and PARKING SPACES. The form is then, per its own text, "SENT TO COUNTY." A second block of the same form, headed "(Below for San Miguel County Building Official Use Only)," states: "IF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AUTHORIZES, APPLICATION(S) FOR A BUILDING PERMIT THAT CONFORM MATERIALLY WITH ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE MAY BE SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT SHALL SEND A 'CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY' OR DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN MADE TO THEIR STANDARDS ONCE COMPLETE," with a line for "COUNTY BUILDING PERMIT NUMBER (once issued)." The Town's own site and Land Use Code do not themselves state whether re-roofing specifically requires this Building Permit pathway, so roofing_permit_required is not asserted at the Town level here — but San Miguel County, the building-permit-issuing authority Norwood applications are routed to, has an existing confirmed record (san-miguel-county.yaml) stating explicitly that "A permit is required whenever you intend to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure," which covers roof work, under the county's 2018 International Codes with amendments and (effective July 1, 2026) the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code. No Town-level contractor license or registration requirement is stated on Norwood's own site, so contractor_registration_required is not asserted here.

The Town of Norwood Land Use Code (Title 7 of the Town Code) does not itself state an adopted IBC/IRC edition; it defines "Building Official" as "The Building Inspector charged with the responsibility of issuing permits and enforcing on behalf of the Town the International Building Code, or other building code adopted by the Town, and Land Use Code" (LUC Sec. 2.02) without naming a specific edition, and defines "Building Permit" as "A permit issued by the Building Official, after approval of a Zoning Development Permit, that allows a developer to erect, construct, reconstruct, excavate for a foundation, alter or change the use of a building or other structure or improvements of land" (LUC Sec. 2.02). LUC Sec. 6.19 states: "No building permit may be issued and no person(s) may engage in any development within the incorporated area of the Town of Norwood without obtaining a [Zoning] development permit." Because actual Building Permits for Norwood are issued by the San Miguel County Building Official (see permit_process_note), the operative adopted-code edition is the county's — 2018 International Codes with county amendments, per the existing confirmed San Miguel County record.
