Roofing in Paonia, Colorado

Required

"For the purpose of providing minimum standards to protect persons, property, and public welfare of the town, the Town of Paonia has adopted the International Building Code, 2018, for building codes." The same page later states plan review by Shums Coda "is based on the 2018 International Building Code." No separate IRC edition is cited on the town's Building Permits page.

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.
