Roofing in Dinosaur, Colorado

Required

"'Code' shall mean the International Building Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Residential Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Plumbing Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Mechanical Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Existing Building Code, 2018 Edition, with appendices thereto; the International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 Edition, with all appendices thereto; the International Energy Conservation Code, 2018 Edition, and all amendments to said Codes and/or Standards as of the date of this Title." (Sec. 12.08.070, Ord. 108 Sec.13, 2007; Amended Municipal Code Codification 2022). A local snow-load amendment adds: "Snow loads for the Town shall be forty (40) pounds," and a modified IRC Table R-301.2(1) sets Roof snow load (non-reducible) at 40 LB, wind speed at 90 mph, seismic design category B, weathering "Severe," and frost line depth at 48 inches.

The Municipal Code's local amendment to IBC/IRC Section 105.2 ("Work Exempt from Permit") lists twelve specific exemptions (small accessory structures, sidewalk/driveway repairs, painting, window awnings, etc.) and roofing is not among them. The Code separately states, regarding who may pull permits: "Property owners who are the bona fide owner of a one- or two-family dwelling which they use as a rental property and is not their primary residence, may acquire building permits for the following: Including, but not limited to roofing, siding, decks, covered porches/patios, interior framing, drywall and accessory buildings without living quarters, provided that the owner shall personally acquire the permit, purchase all material and shall personally perform all labor..." On contractor licensing, the Code states: "No permit shall be issued to any person to do or to cause to be done any work regulated by this Chapter, except to a person holding a valid, unexpired and unrevoked contractor's license if required by the Town or as otherwise provided in this Section," but the posted Code text does not include a separate contractor-licensing chapter with fees or a licensing board, so the scope of that requirement could not be independently confirmed.
