Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Paonia, CO, issued by Town of Paonia - Building Department. The Town's Building Permits page states verbatim: "The Town of Paonia issues building permits that include, but are not limited to: Building Re-roofing Mechanical Floodplain Development Fence Signs Demolition Excavation Sidewalk Closure Parades Special Event." A dedicated "4.-paonia-re-roofing-permit-application.pdf" is listed among the Building Department's application forms. The page allows up to two weeks for permit approval and states same-day permits will not be issued. Work exempt from a building permit but still requiring a zoning approval/review application includes: one-story detached accessory structures used as tool/storage sheds or playhouses under 200 square feet; fences not over 6 feet high (still subject to Municipal Code Section 18-13-10 review); window and door replacement with no structural changes; decks not exceeding 200 square feet and not more than 30 inches above grade; and re-siding without altering the wall structure, provided the new weather barrier is not a stucco-type product applied directly to sheathing. Applicants submit a complete application with drawings and a site plan, prepay estimated fees, and plans are typically sent to third-party reviewer Shums Coda (a 10-business-day turnaround, billed at $150/hour), though the page notes "roofing permits are exempt from this [Shums Coda] review when replacing an existing roofing type with a similar or identical material" and that prefabricated/on-site sheds without electricity, supported directly on grade, need a permit but not a plan review.
