Roofing in Mancos, Colorado

Required

Per the Mancos Municipal Code, Chapter 18: Sec. 18-1-10 adopts "the International Building Code, 2006 edition"; Sec. 18-2-10 adopts "the International Residential Code, 2006 edition"; both by reference under Title 31, Article 16, Part 2, C.R.S., most recently amended by Ordinance 634 (2010). Sec. 18-1-40 and Sec. 18-2-30 each state: "The code adopted herein is hereby modified by the following amendments: none." The Town's Technical Assistance document separately notes new windows and doors "will meet the currently adopted International Energy Conservation Code" without stating a specific edition.

Per the Town's "Building Permits (Zoning Development Permit)" Technical Assistance document: "A Building Permit is required for all new construction, and when making structural changes to the building envelope such as new rafters, trusses, permanent overhangs or additions, or any changes to the footprint of the building." Its Building Envelope Repairs and Alterations Guidelines state: "Re-roofing or re-cladding (siding) with identical materials does not require a building permit if above the sheathing. However, any structural change to the exterior such as change in the building footprint or roofline or slope, adding or removal of trusses or rafters, requires a building permit and inspection," and "Roofing materials must comply with Mancos snow load requirements. Roofing may be completed by the property owner." That said, the Town's separate "What Application Do I Need?" fee-schedule document lists "Re-roofing with similar materials" as requiring an "Application for Minor Construction Project" ($23.50), a lighter-weight application distinct from the full $65.00 Building Permit used for new construction, additions, and structural/systems work; roofing_permit_ required is set true on that basis (some town application is required for re-roofing even when the full Building Permit and its structural triggers are not), with the like-for-like/under-sheathing exemption from the full Building Permit noted here for accuracy. The Town's Permits & Inspections page directs applicants in doubt to contact Town Administrator Heather Alvarez at 970-533-7725, and separately states: "The Town of Mancos does not inspect electrical or plumbing projects that require a permit. All permits and inspections are provided by the Department of Regulatory Agencies with the State of Colorado."

"The Town of Mancos does not inspect electrical or plumbing projects that require a permit. All permits and inspections are provided by the Department of Regulatory Agencies with the State of Colorado. If you are a homeowner hiring an Electrical Contractor or Plumbing Contractor, your contractor is responsible for obtaining the required permit(s)." For building/roofing-related inspections, questions during a project or inspection requests go directly to the Building Inspector per the Building Department Overview page.
