Codes adopted

2021 International Building Code (IBC), as amended — City of Lone Tree Design Criteria & Codes page2021 International Residential Code (IRC), as amended2021 International Fire Code (IFC)2021 International Plumbing Code (IPC)2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC)2021 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)2023 National Electrical Code (NEC)2017 ICC A117.1 Accessibility CodeNote on Chapter 18 (Building Regulations), Lone Tree Municipal Code: search-indexed content confirms the City has adopted the International Building Code, 2021 Edition, as amended, with a certified copy on file with the City Clerk; a local amendment adds Section 105.3.8 'Soils Test,' requiring a soils test prepared by a Colorado-registered professional engineer at building permit application, with an engineering geologist additionally required for hillside/geological-hazard/steep-slope sites at the Building Official's discretion. Full text of Chapter 18 could not be independently re-verified beyond this indexed excerpt because library.municode.com/co/lone_tree serves an Angular single-page app shell (empty of code text without JS rendering) and returned HTTP 403 to both a standard fetch and a full-browser-header curl retry — this is a partial-confidence caveat on the amendment-detail level only, not on the base code-edition list, which is independently confirmed on the City's own actively-maintained Design Criteria & Codes page.HB22-1362 statewide energy floor (Colorado): as of 2026-07-06 (this review date), HB22-1362 requires that municipalities/counties updating their building code adopt an energy code achieving equivalent-or-better performance than the 2021 IECC + Model Electric and Solar Ready Code (effective window 7/1/2023-6/30/2026), stepping up to the Colorado Energy Code Board's Model Low Energy and Carbon Code (published 9/2/2025) as the new statewide minimum for any code update on or after 7/1/2026. Lone Tree's currently-published adopted energy code is the 2021 IECC (per its own Design Criteria & Codes page, most recent update not dated on-page) — this predates the 7/1/2026 Model Low Energy and Carbon Code trigger point and does not itself violate HB22-1362, since that stricter floor applies only when a jurisdiction next updates its code. Flagged honestly rather than assumed; confirm current status with the Building Division (720-390-5211) before relying on this for a 2026-cycle project, since Lone Tree could adopt updated codes at any time.

Required when replacing more than 1 square (100 sq ft) of roofing in Lone Tree. Governed by the 2021 IRC/IBC as adopted; notably, ice and water (ice barrier) underlayment is explicitly NOT required by the City, unlike many mountain-corridor Colorado jurisdictions.

Verified 2026-07-06 · Source

Requirements

  • Required whenever replacing more than 1 square (100 sq ft) of roofing
  • Partial roof replacements must terminate at a natural break (valley, eave, ridge) and may not mix materials or ages on a single slope unless manufacturer-warranted
  • Minimum Class C rating required for wood shake and wood shingle roofing

  • Drip edge mandatory on all rakes and eaves
  • All deteriorated flashing, drain outlets, jacks, and collars must be replaced; water-damaged or rusted decking must be replaced

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Permit

Verified

The City of Lone Tree does not publish a dedicated ADU ordinance, zoning allowance summary, or standalone ADU permit page. RE-CHASED 2026-07-23 directly against the live, current (May 22, 2026 codified version) Lone Tree Municipal Code on Municode: Chapter 16 (Zoning), Article VII (SR Suburban Residential District, which governs virtually all single-family residential zoning) lists 'Principal Uses' (Sec. 16-7-20, limited to one single-family dwelling per lot), 'Accessory Uses' (Sec. 16-7-30), and 'Accessory Buildings and Uses in SR-E, SR-L and SR-M Subzoning Districts' (Sec. 16-7-300) in full, and none of these lists include 'accessory dwelling unit,' 'ADU,' or a second dwelling unit as a permitted use — accessory uses are limited to private garages, home occupations, satellite dishes, small water/wastewater facilities, and swimming pools; accessory buildings in the SR-E/L/M subzones are limited to detached garages, home occupations, maintenance buildings, private pools/greenhouses, storm shelters, and tennis courts/BBQ pits/water features. Separately, Sec. 6-6-40(b) of the Municipal Code ('Short-term rental of non-primary residences and accessory dwelling units prohibited') confirms the City's code does recognize 'accessory dwelling unit' as a term, but only in the context of banning its short-term rental — not as an established zoned use. An ADU project (where the parcel's zone district happens to allow a second dwelling, e.g. via a Planned Development zoning overlay under Article XV, or via a variance/rezoning) would be processed as a standard Residential Addition/New Construction building permit through the Accela portal, subject to the same Design Criteria, soils-test amendment, and shared valuation-based fee table as other residential work — but the standard SR-district zoning does not permit a second dwelling unit by right.

Verified 2026-07-23 · Source

Requirements

  • No dedicated ADU permit type, ordinance summary, or standalone process page could be located on the City's Building, Planning, Permits-and-Applications pages, or via a site search for 'accessory dwelling unit'
  • RE-CHASED 2026-07-23: the live, current Lone Tree Zoning Code (Chapter 16, Article VII, Secs. 16-7-20/16-7-30/16-7-300) does not list an ADU or second dwelling unit as a permitted principal, accessory, or special-review use in the SR Suburban Residential District — the principal-use list caps residential lots at one single-family dwelling; an ADU is NOT a use-by-right under the standard residential zoning as currently codified
  • Zoning allowance for a second dwelling unit, if achievable at all, would require a case-specific zoning review with the Planning Division (720-509-1180) — e.g. via a Planned Development (PD) zone district (Article XV), rezoning (Article XXV), or variance (Article XXVI) — prior to any building-permit application
  • If a zoning path is secured, the construction itself would be processed as a standard building permit (new construction or addition scope) subject to the same 2021 IRC/IBC-based requirements, soils test (Section 105.3.8 amendment), and Design Criteria as other residential construction
  • Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code mitigation may apply if the ADU adds 500+ sq ft or the parcel is in a mapped fire-intensity zone

Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit

Verified

The City of Lone Tree does not publish a dedicated Tenant Improvement (TI) permit page or process summary distinct from its general commercial Building Permit. A commercial TI project would be filed as a standard Building Permit application through the Accela portal, subject to the 2021 IBC as adopted and the same shared valuation-based fee table used for all occupancies. RE-CHASED and RE-CONFIRMED live on 2026-07-23 (direct re-fetch of the Permits and Applications page and a sitewide search of cityoflonetree.com for 'tenant improvement'/'submittal checklist', both returning no dedicated TI page, form, or checklist) — this is a confirmed absence on a live primary source, not an unresolved gap.

Verified 2026-07-23 · Source

Requirements

  • No standalone TI permit type, application form, or process page could be located on the City's Building, Permits-and-Applications, or Licenses pages — modeled here as a scoped application of the general commercial Building Permit
  • RE-CHASED 2026-07-23: re-fetched the live Permits and Applications page directly and confirmed its 'Land Use & Development Applications' section (the City's own categorized list of non-Building Division application types) lists only 'Site Improvement Plans, subdivisions, rezonings, among other applications' — no 'Tenant Improvement' category is named. Also re-confirmed via the live Building Division FAQ that a zoning verification letter is 'strongly encouraged' before a business applies for a building permit, to confirm the space is zoned for the proposed business use — this pre-permit zoning check is the closest thing to a distinct TI-intake step the City publishes, and it is not itself a separate permit type
  • Governed by the 2021 IBC as adopted, plus applicable fire and accessibility code requirements (2021 IFC, 2017 ICC A117.1)
  • A Business License (or Retail Sales & Use Tax License) is required for the tenant/business operating in the space, separate from the construction permit itself

Required for decks and patio covers in Lone Tree, explicitly named by the City as permit-triggering work (distinct from exempt concrete patios and driveways at grade). Governed by the 2021 IRC as adopted and the City's Design Criteria for structural loading.

Requirements

  • Explicitly required per the City's Do I Need a Building Permit guidance: 'Decks and Patio Covers'

EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit

Verified

The City of Lone Tree's 2026 Building Fees schedule has no dedicated EV-charger or EVSE line item -- unlike Solar Electric or Solar Thermal Devices, which have their own flat $480.00 line. Installing a Level 2 (240V) home EV charger requires a City of Lone Tree Electrical Permit, billed under the same valuation-based 'Building, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Permit Fees for All Occupancies' table used for any electrical installation, issued directly by the City's Building Division under the 2023 NEC as adopted.

Verified 2026-07-20 · Source

Requirements

  • Electrical work must be performed by a contractor holding current Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) licensure, in addition to the City permit
  • Billed under the single shared valuation-based 'Building, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Permit Fees for All Occupancies' table -- not a separate DORA-anchored schedule, since Lone Tree issues its own combined trade permits rather than deferring to the state board
  • No Douglas County Use Tax is collected on electrical-only permits/projects (explicit fee-schedule exemption); City Use Tax (2.5%) may still apply per City ordinance
