Permit process note
The Town's Building Department page states the fee schedule directly: "Roof Repair: Removal of layers/overlay, regardless of the type of roofing materials, requires a minimum permit of $26.55. Areas of less than 100 square feet do not require a permit to repair." Other listed permit categories include Mobile Homes (a moving permit from the Jackson County Treasurer's office plus a separate Town of Walden moving permit), Storage Sheds (a movable shed over 120 sq ft requires a permit), Fences (any fence over 6 feet requires a permit), Dry Wall Repair and Siding Installation/Repair (areas over 100 sq ft require a permit). "Any person who commences any work on a building, structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to a fee established by the building official that is DOUBLE the amount of the normal required permit fees." A generic Building Permit Application form (available on the Town's Documents page) includes "Roof" and "Re-Roof" as line items under "Covering" / cost of construction, and a "Contractor" name/address field, but the Town's site states no separate contractor licensing/registration requirement — that boolean is omitted here for lack of an explicit statement. Fillable applications and a "2026 Building Permit Fees" schedule are posted on the Town's Documents page.
Inspection requirements
"Please see the copy of the inspection record for what we will be inspected as it pertains to your project. You will need to call and make an appointment at least 24 hours in advance to any inspection that will be done." Inspections are scheduled by calling (970) 723-4344. Graham Crews is listed as the Town of Walden Building Inspector ([email protected], 970-723-8557).
