Tips

  • Unlike Vail (same county), Avon does not publish an 'Expedited Permit' fast-track specifically for re-roofs — do not assume Avon matches Vail's combined DRB+Building-Permit re-roof process.
  • Confirm with the Planning Division whether your specific re-roof scope (e.g., a material or color change visible from the exterior) triggers Development Plan review before assuming a roofing permit alone is sufficient.
