Permit process note
Springfield's Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Building Regulations) shows its building-code adoption sections repealed: the editor's note states "Ord. No. 356, adopted July 13, 2023, repealed section 18-1, which pertained to building code adopted and derived from Ord. No. 296 ... adopted July 10, 2008." Sections 18-1 through 18-24 are Reserved, so no locally adopted IRC/IBC edition is currently codified. The 2006 International Fire Code remains adopted (section 18-25), and electrical work requires a permit from the town electrical inspector under Chapter 18, Article III. The town's department list includes no building department; contact Town Hall to confirm current requirements before roofing work.
Adopted code
No building code is currently adopted by ordinance: Ordinance No. 356 (July 13, 2023) repealed the town's building-code adoption (Municipal Code section 18-1), and the building-code sections of Chapter 18 are Reserved as of the code's Supplement 3 (codified through Ordinance No. 357, July 13, 2023; online content updated May 19, 2025). The 2006 International Fire Code remains adopted as the town's fire code.
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — Springfield Municipal Code Chapter 18, Building Regulations, was read in full. Sections 18-1, 18-2 and 18-3 all stand Reserved, each carrying an editor's note recording that Ordinance No. 356, adopted July 13, 2023, repealed them; Section 18-1 was the town's building code adoption. The Code Comparative Table lists Ordinance No. 356 as codified. Springfield therefore has no adopted building code, so no UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistance requirement attaches to a reroof. The chapter's only surviving adoption is the 2006 International Fire Code at Section 18-25, adopted with no additions, insertions, deletions or changes at Section 18-26; that is a fire code and is independent of impact rating. The only statewide instrument reaching reroofing is the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, 8 CCR 1507-39, effective July 1, 2026 in areas designated wildland-urban interface under that code, which requires a Class A roof covering tested to ASTM E108 or UL 790 where 25 percent or more of the roof surface is replaced, at Sections 101.6 and 403.2; that is a fire classification independent of impact rating, and the code sets no impact-resistance requirement.
