Permitting Authorities / Town of Westcliffe - Building Department
Town of Westcliffe - Building Department
Adopted codeThe building permit authority for the Town of Westcliffe, a statutory town and the county seat of Custer County. The Building Department issues building, fence, sign, excavation, electrical, and plumbing permits, and directs applicants to a set of project-specific "2006 International Code Council Building Guides" that include a dedicated re-roofing guide. This is Westcliffe's own stated code reference; it should not be assumed to match Custer County (which permits through zoning only, with no adopted building code) or neighboring Silver Cliff (which separately runs a building department on the 2006 IBC/IRC).

Permit process note
The Building Department page states: "Building and Zoning office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please contact our office at 719-783-2282, ext. 12 during these hours or by email [email protected]." Under "Start Here - 2006 International Code Council Building Guides," the Town lists guide sheets available by request for: "Single Family Residential Addition," "Single Family Residential Basement Finish," "Single Family Residential Enclosing Existing Patio Covers," "Single Family Residential One Story Detached Garage," "Single Family Residential Patio Covers & Carports," "Single Family Residential Re-Roofing," and "Single Family Residential Uncovered Decks & Porches" (available by calling 719-783-2282, ext. 12). Separately, under "Building Permits Applications," the Town lists a "Building Permit Application," "Fence Permit Application," "Sign Permit Application," and "Excavation Permit Application," plus links to Electrical and Plumbing permits via the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. No explicit contractor-registration/licensing requirement was found stated on this page.
Adopted code
The Building Department page's own heading reads "Start Here - 2006 International Code Council Building Guides," which is the only code-year reference found on the Town's official site; it is presented as a set of permit guide documents rather than a formal code-adoption ordinance citation, so this is recorded as the Town's own stated reference rather than a verified adopted-code section number.
