Registration details
  • license: The Building and Land Use page does not state a Town-level contractor-license or registration requirement; per prior Wave research summaries of this page, the Town does not require contractor licensing or registration to obtain permits, so contractor_registration_required is not asserted here.
Permit process note
The page states: "Buildings or structures one hundred fifty (150) square feet or less...shall not require a building permit but must comply with appropriate setback regulations," and "All other buildings or structures must be issued a permit and pay the necessary fee prior to construction." No roofing-specific size exemption or carve-out is stated, so re-roofing on an existing structure falls under the general permit requirement. Complete Building Permit Applications and supporting documents are dropped off at Town Hall (323 Pueblo Ave, Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm); after Building Official review, the applicant is notified of permit cost, payable by cash, check, or credit card. The page states: "We only issue building permits for addresses located within our Municipal Town limits. Any addresses outside of the Town limits will need to get their permit through Elbert or El Paso Counties." The Town does not conduct electrical inspections; those are scheduled with the State of Colorado.
Inspection requirements
"The owner or contractor is RESPONSIBLE FOR CALLING FOR INSPECTIONS one (1) day in advance, before 4:00 p.m, Monday - Friday." Inspections are required at various phases of a project, and approval on all required inspections for a completed phase must be obtained before the next phase begins. The Building Official is Rick Stegmaier, available Tuesday - Thursday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. No roofing-specific mid-roof or final-inspection protocol is stated on this page.
Adopted code
"The Town of Simla is on the 2006 version of the International Building Code." No separate IRC, IECC, or fire code edition is independently named on this page.
