Basalt, Colorado has adopted: 2021 International Building Code (IBC) as locally amended by Town of Basalt Ordinance (Chapter 18 amendments effective July 20, 2023) — confirmed via the Town's own 'Building' page code-adoption summary ('2021 ICC') and via the Town's detailed strike-through/underline local-amendment comparison document (2021-Code-change--ICC-reference-articles, basalt.net/DocumentCenter/View/6221); 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), as locally amended — the Town's own Building Permit Application Checklist is titled for 'Single Family, Duplex, and Townhomes' built to the IRC; 2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2021 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — State of Colorado adopted edition referenced alongside the Town's 2021 IBC/IRC/IMC cycle; 2021 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2021 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — adopted at the State of Colorado level and applied by the Town; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per the Building Department page's current-adoptions summary; NOTE electrical work in Basalt is permitted and inspected by the State of Colorado Electrical Board, not the Town Building Department itself — the Town's own Building Permit Application form states: 'Electrical is permitted and inspected by the State of Colorado'; 2024 Sustainable Building Regulations I & II (SBRI/SBRII) — Town of Basalt Municipal Code Sec. 18-23/18-24/18-25, amended by Ordinance 20, Series of 2024, effective November 12, 2024, reflecting Holy Cross Energy's approximately 90% renewable power supply achievement by end of 2024; Prior/superseded local design-parameter reference: the Town's 'Local Structural Design Parameters' document (basalt.net/documentcenter/view/2388) still headers itself against the 2015 IBC/IRC/IMC/IECC/IEBC code cycle and 2017 NEC/2015 IPC-IFGC — the numeric structural design values on that document (ground snow load, wind speed, seismic category, frost depth) are treated as still-current in this record because the Town's later 2021-code-adoption amendment document (View/6221) re-adopts the identical IRC Table R301.2(1) frost-depth (36 inches) and retaining-wall figures verbatim rather than superseding them; the code-EDITION labels on that older PDF itself are NOT current and should not be read as Basalt's current adopted code cycle.; Local amendments to all adopted codes are codified in Chapter 18 (Building Regulations) of the Basalt Municipal Code (Municode: library.municode.com/co/basalt). The Town's own downloadable strike-through/underline amendment comparison document (View/6221) serves as the authoritative source here for specific local IBC/IRC section amendments, since it is a primary Town document rather than a third-party mirror.. Local amendments apply — see the Basalt overview page for the full list.

The Town's website publishes no standalone re-roof-specific application form — re-roofing appears to be filed as a Building Permit Application with Class of Work marked Alteration or Repair. Confirm directly with the Building Department for the current process.
