Roofing permits & building code in Brush

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Brush are set locally by City of Brush Community Development Department. Colorado has no statewide roofing license, so registration is handled at the local level — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.

Roofing permit
Required
Contractor registration
Required
Adopted building code
The City of Brush has adopted the 2018 ICC family of codes including the 2018 International Building Code and International Residential Code, with electrical and plumbing deferred to the State of Colorado; and the City's building requirements page states that the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code "will be enforced beginning July 1, 2026." THAT DATE HAS PASSED, so the announced changeover is due to have taken effect; this record has not been re-verified since it did, and the quoted sentence is reported as the City wrote it rather than restated in the present tense. The IECC is an energy code and sets no roof-covering requirement, so this does not change the roofing position under the 2018 IRC. Confirm the current energy-code edition with the Community Development Department if it matters to a job.
