When you need this permit

  • ALL RE-ROOFING PROJECTS MUST SUBMIT THE APPLICATION AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION AT LEAST THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED START DATE (stated in capital letters on the Building Permits page)
  • Signed copy of contract or estimate sheet with the homeowner required alongside the Building Permit Application
  • Note: the same Building Permits page also contains a second, inconsistent sentence stating 'at least two days prior to the scheduled start date' — the three-business-day requirement is stated first and in emphasis, and is treated as the governing figure in this file; the inconsistency itself is flagged rather than silently resolved

Tips

  • Have your roofing contractor's signed contract or written estimate ready at submittal; it's explicitly required alongside the Building Permit Application for this permit type.

Florence, Colorado has adopted: 2006 International Building Code (IBC) — City of Florence Building Department page states plainly: 'The City of Florence follows the 2006 International Building Code'; 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — per the Building Permit Application Submittal Checklist (PDF): 'Energy Code – City of Florence adopts the 2006 Edition of the International Energy Conservation Code'; Florence Municipal Code Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), Section 15.04.040: 'The requirement for obtaining building permits relative to the construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, maintenance, and use of any building or structure within the City of Florence shall be governed by the most recent adopted edition of the appropriate adopted codes and building standards, including amendments thereto.' Per Municode search indexing of Title 15, Chapter 15.08 (amendments) is where local amendments to the 2006 IBC are set forth (Section 15.08.010).; Electrical: 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — administered by the State of Colorado, NOT the City (see localAmendments). Source: City of Florence Building Department page, linking to the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations (DORA) Electrical Board page, which states the current adopted edition as the 2023 NEC.; Plumbing: 2021 (Colorado) Plumbing Code — administered by the State of Colorado, NOT the City. Source: City of Florence Building Department page, linking to the DORA Plumbing Board page, which lists the 2021 edition.; No separate local IRC, IMC, IFGC, or IFC edition is published by the City on its Building Department or Building Permits pages, or in the Building Permit Application Submittal Checklist — only the 2006 IBC (general building code) and 2006 IECC (energy code) are explicitly named by the City itself. The zero-tolerance policy governing this corpus prohibits inferring an IRC/IMC/IFGC/IFC edition the City has not itself published; note this as a gap rather than assuming a matching 2006 cycle for the unlisted codes.; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code floor, effective for jurisdictions adopting/updating codes on specified triggers starting July 2023 for larger jurisdictions and July 2026 for smaller ones) does not appear reflected on the City's Building Department page or Submittal Checklist, both of which still affirmatively state the 2006 IECC as current and were the live, actively-maintained pages as of this review (2026-07-06) — checked directly, no updated energy code notice found. Flagged honestly rather than assumed; Florence's population (under the HB22-1362 tiered compliance triggers) and its home-rule status both bear on whether/when the floor applies, but the City has not published any code update reflecting it as of this review.. Local amendments apply — see the Florence overview page for the full list.
