Registration details
  • license: Victor Municipal Code Chapter 6 - Business Licenses and Regulations was read in full: Article 1 (Business Licenses) requires only a general license, issued by the City, for any person or entity "operating, conducting or carrying on any business within the City" (Sec. 6-1-30(A)), where "business" is broadly defined (Sec. 6-1-20) as any vocation, occupation, profession, or enterprise "conducted for private profit," and the Article's stated purpose (Sec. 6-1-10) is "to enable the City to enforce the obligation of businesses to remit sales, use and additional taxes" — a tax-administration license, not a contractor-specific one. Article 2 covers Alcoholic Beverages, Article 3 Sexually Oriented Businesses, and Article 4 Short-Term Rentals — none of the four articles contains a contractor-specific license or registration requirement.
Permit process note
The Building Permits page states: "Victor municipal code requires a building permit for most construction, remodel or demolition of any building within the City limits." Applications and required plans are submitted at Victor City Hall, 500 W. Victor Ave. "Construction may not commence until the building permit has been issued and the permit posted on the building/property." Permits become "null and void if no inspections occur for a period of one year (365 days)." The Building Department publishes a dedicated "2012 Roof Building Guide" among its project-specific Building Guides for submitting roofing plans.
Adopted code
Victor adopts the 2012 I-Codes by reference and, critically for roofing, adopts the IRC as a separate residential code alongside the IBC. Sec. 18-1-10 (Adoption) states: "Pursuant to Section 31-16-202, C.R.S., there is hereby adopted by reference the International Building Code, 2012 edition, including Appendices B and I... except that portion of the 2012 International Building Code entitled '2012 International Property Maintenance Code' and that portion entitled 'ICC Electrical Code,' which are not adopted by the ordinance codified herein." Separately, Sec. 18-2-10 (Adoption) states: "Pursuant to Section 31-16-202, C.R.S., there is hereby adopted by reference the International Residential Code, 2012 edition, including Appendices H and J, as published by the International Code Council... The subject matter of this code includes the design and construction of one- and two-family dwellings and townhomes in the City for the purpose of protecting the public health, safety and general welfare." The IRC is therefore the operative code for one- and two-family dwelling roofing in Victor, and Sec. 18-2-30 carries the City's IRC amendments - a 24-item list including the completed Table R301.2(1) (see wind_design_criteria and ice_water_shield_required). (Ord. No. 485, § 2, 11-14-2013; Ord. No. 500, § 1, 8-11-2016)
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the City of Victor. Municode § 18-2-30 (Article 2, Residential Code Amendments), a textually exhaustive, numbered list of 24 items (item 1 through item 24, verified sequentially complete), was read in full and does not delete or modify Section R905.2.8.5, so the base 2012 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code, per the Article's own adoption clause (Sec. 18-2-10) incorporating the 2012 IRC "as if set out at length" except as amended. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Required — Victor Municipal Code § 18-2-30, item 11's amended Table R301.2(1) prints "Ice Barrier Underlayment Required" as "Yes." About ice & water barrier
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — Municode § 18-2-30 (Article 2, Residential Code Amendments), the same textually exhaustive 24-item list, was read in its entirety and contains no UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision anywhere.
Wind design criteria
Victor Municipal Code § 18-2-30, item 11, amends Table R301.2(1) of the 2012 IRC to read (two-row header: "Ground Snow Load / Wind Design [Speed (mph) / Topographic effects] / Seismic Design Category / Subject to Damage From [Weathering / Frost Line Depth / Termites / Decay] / Winter Design Temp / Ice Barrier Underlayment Required / Flood Hazards / Air Freezing Index / Mean Annual Temp"), with printed values "40 psf / 90 / No / B / Severe / 36 In. / None to slight / None to slight / 2 degrees F / Yes / Per zoning / 3000 / 40 degrees F."
Sales & use tax
6.9% combined (state 2.9% + Teller County 1% + City of Victor 3%; no RTD/SCFD/RTA district — the Ute Pass Regional Health Services District, which covers a portion of Teller County, is bounded to the Woodland Park/Divide/Cascade corridor and does not reach Victor, in southern Teller County near Cripple Creek). The City's own rate is confirmed directly from its code: Victor Municipal Code § 4-2-80 imposes "a tax equal to three percent of the gross receipts," matching Colorado Department of Revenue form DR 1002 (rev. 06/19/19)'s State-Collected City Sales Taxes table row "Victor / Teller / 3% / 0 [service fee] / A,B,C,K / None [use tax]." DR 1002's State-Collected Colorado County Sales Tax table lists Teller County's rate as 1%. Re-verified 2026-08-27 against the January 2026 edition of Colorado Department of Revenue form DR 1002, read from a rendered image of its tables rather than from extracted text: the state, county and city figures above match that edition exactly. Where the text above names the June 19, 2019 revision of DR 1002, that describes the edition the figure was originally taken from and is not a current citation.
