Home / Roofing by City / Alma, Colorado

Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Alma, CO, issued by Town of Alma - Building Department. The Building Department page states: "The Town of Alma building department issues permits and verifies compliant construction for properties located within the Town Limits. For projects outside of Town Limits, please contact the Park County Building Department." Applicants "download the permit application and submit to the email address listed on the form," and "Permit fees are calculated after submission of the application." The page also notes: "The Town does not issue separate plumbing, Electrical or Mechanical sub permits, only one project permit that includes those scopes of work," and that "The Town of Alma now has certified inspectors for plumbing and electrical systems, the Town of Alma permits all work within the Town. State of Colorado (DORA) permits are no longer needed." On roofing specifically, the page quotes adopted code section "R905.1.2 Ice Barriers: An ice dam protection that consists of an approved self-adhering modified bitumen sheet underlayment shall be used at all sloped roofs without a continuous membrane. This ice dam protection underlayment shall extend up the slope of the roof from the drip edge of the roof or eave and cover the entire roof deck surface. In new construction, ice dam protection shall extend a minimum 30 inches up walls adjacent to the roof surface." A Park County contractor licensing requirement does apply, though it appears in the Municipal Code rather than on the Building Department page: Alma Municipal Code Section 18-1-60(a), enacted by Ordinance No. 2025-03, Section 1, adopted June 17, 2025, requires all persons and firms engaged in construction work within Town limits to be licensed "under the applicable terms and provisions adopted by the Park County Building Department" before applying for a permit or contracting for the work, with a narrow owner-builder exemption at subsection (d). Section 18-1-10(b), enacted by the same ordinance, cross-references "Section 18-1-80 of this Code" for that licence, but Section 18-1-80 is "Certificate of occupancy required"; the operative licence provision is Section 18-1-60, and the cross-reference in Section 18-1-10(b) is dead as codified through Ordinance No. 2026-04 of March 17, 2026.
