Tips

  • Reroofing is a flat-rate permit in the Pikes Peak region — $135.00 for asphalt shingle or stucco, $115.00 for wood/composite siding — not valuation-based like many other jurisdictions.
  • Colorado Springs requires minimum Class A roof covering for one- and two-family dwellings, a city-specific amendment stricter than the base IRC — confirm your shingle product's fire rating before purchasing.
  • Above 7,000 ft elevation, ice barrier underlayment is mandatory — check your property's listed elevation on the permit receipt.
  • Stocking roofing material before the permit is issued triggers a TRIPLE fee and a stop-work order — always pull the permit first.
