Reroofing Permit in Mountain View, Colorado

Required for roof replacement/reroofing in Mountain View. The Town's current live materials point to a general reroof-guide handout (2021 IRC-based, via the Colorado Chapter ICC), and this 2021 IRC edition is now directly confirmed by the Town's own live Municipal Code (Section 18.13.010, accessed 2026-07-23 at mountainview.municipal.codes/Code/18.13: 'The International Residential Code, 2021 Edition ... is hereby adopted'); an older, legacy Town-hosted page separately details specific 2015-IRC-referenced Residential Roofing Requirements, which is confirmed superseded rather than merely suspected, since the Town's live ordinance text establishes 2021 (not 2015) as the current-adopted edition.

When you need this permit

  • Reroofing/roof replacement is explicitly listed as requiring a permit on the Town's Building Department FAQ

Fee schedule

Permit FeeGAP CLOSED 2026-07-23: this entry's earlier 'no published dollar table' note (and the file's own confidenceNote/reviewTimelineNote text) had stated the Resolution No. 2024-12-16H fee schedule was already 'applied to' this permit type, but on this pass the fees[] amount had NOT actually been filled — corrected here. Per Resolution No. 2024-12-16H, Exhibit A 'Town of Mountain View Fee Schedule' (Chapter 18 - Building Regulations, 'Building Permit Fees Set By Resolution' table, updated 12/12/2024, tomv.org/media/2046, HTTP 200), applied to the reroof's stated project valuation, same as other Building Department permit types. Town's general Building Department FAQ separately describes basic permits like roof replacements as having a faster review tier under the legacy page's older (now-superseded) timeline scheme (see reviewTimelineNote).
$40.00 for total valuation $1.00-$500.00; $40.00 for the first $500.00 plus $2.00 per additional $100.00 (or fraction) from $501.00-$2,000.00; $70.00 for the first $2,000.00 plus $14.00 per additional $1,000.00 (or fraction) from $2,001.00-$25,000.00; $391.25 for the first $25,000.00 plus $10.10 per additional $1,000.00 (or fraction) from $25,001.00-$50,000.00; $643.75 for the first $50,000.00 plus $7.00 per additional $1,000.00 (or fraction) from $50,001.00-$100,000.00; $993.75 for the first $100,000.00 plus $5.60 per additional $1,000.00 (or fraction) from $100,001.00-$500,000.00; continuing per the same table above $500,000.00

Mountain View requires 1 inspection(s) for a reroofing permit, in order: Final Inspection (roof). Schedule each through Town of Mountain View Building Department (administered by SAFEbuilt under contract) ((303) 450-8746).

Apply through Town of Mountain View Building Department (administered by SAFEbuilt under contract) at Mountain View Town Hall, 4176 Benton Street, Mountain View, CO 80212. Phone: (303) 450-8746, email: Buildingpermits@tomv.org. Office hours: Building division operates weekdays 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (Town's FAQ page prints this as '8:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m.', which is evidently a typo for 5:00 p.m. given the Town Hall's own general business hours; noted honestly rather than silently corrected without flagging). Inspection request line (303) 450-8748 — call by 4:00 p.m. for next-business-day inspection. Town Hall main line (303) 421-7282.. Official information: https://www.tomv.org/building-department.

Mountain View, Colorado has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — referenced as the current adopted standard on the Town's 'Helpful Building Permit Handouts' page (page title/meta-description: 'Handouts developed by the Colorado Chapter of the International Code Council as a basic plan submittal under the 2021 International Residential Code') and cross-confirmed on the Town's own Building Permit Application (page 3, Homeowner Electrical/Plumbing certification): 'in accordance with the current edition of the National Electric Code, International Residential Code, and International Plumbing Code adopted by the Town of Mountain View as the minimum standard.'; National Electrical Code (NEC) — current edition, per the same Building Permit Application homeowner-certification language; the Town's live public-facing pages do not print the specific NEC year cycle (e.g. 2020 vs 2023) anywhere checked (Building Department page, Building Permits page, Handouts page, Application PDF) — noted as a gap rather than guessed.; International Plumbing Code (IPC), 2021 Edition — GAP CLOSED 2026-07-23: confirmed directly via the Town's own live, codified Municipal Code §18.08.010 ('International Plumbing Code adopted,' read live at mountainview.municipal.codes/Code/18.8): 'The International Plumbing Code, 2021 Edition ... is adopted by reference ... The provisions of the International Plumbing Code shall apply to the construction of, and renovations or additions to, all commercial and residential buildings within the Town.' (Ord. 2024-07-15A §17; Ord. 2019-02-11F §1; Ord. 2010-7 §4). This supersedes the prior 'specific year cycle not printed on any live Town page checked' note, which reflected only the Building Department's public-facing webpages, not the Municipal Code's own codified Article 8.; Note on code-currency and a superseded page: an older, still-live legacy page on the Town's prior CivicLive-hosted site (mountainviewco.hosted.civiclive.com/services/building_department_/building_permits, and its townofmountainviewcolorado.org mirror) states 'The 2015 International Building Code is the official adopted reference for building codes and applicable to Mountain View, effective March 28, 2019' — this page predates the Town's current SAFEbuilt-administered, tomv.org/Drupal-hosted site and its own CommunityCore permitting system, and the Town's live Helpful Building Permit Handouts page (referencing 2021 IRC-based ICC Colorado Chapter guides) is treated as the current, actively maintained source rather than this legacy 2015/2019 page. Flagged rather than silently discarded, consistent with this corpus's policy of noting superseded-but-still-indexed pages (cf. Vail's stale submittal-packet footer).; GAP CLOSED 2026-07-23 (all remaining Chapter 18 Articles read live, superseding the prior 'not printed anywhere' note below, which is preserved for the record): the Town's Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Building Regulations), previously reported as unreachable (mountainview.municipal.codes/Code/18 returned a Cloudflare bot-challenge 403 to every curl/WebFetch attempt), was successfully accessed live via the Browser pane after clearing the Cloudflare challenge, and this follow-up pass individually read Articles 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 4.5 in full (in addition to the previously-read Articles 1, 2, 4, and 13). Confirmed adopted editions, each quoted directly from its codified section: International Fire Code (IFC), 2021 Edition — §18.05.010 ('The International Fire Code, 2021 Edition ... is adopted by reference'; Ord. 2024-07-15A §11), further amended per West Metro Fire Protection District Resolution No. 2022-08 (§18.05.030). International Mechanical Code (IMC), 2021 Edition — §18.07.010 (Ord. 2024-07-15A §14; Ord. 2019-02-11E §1; Ord. 2010-7 §4). International Plumbing Code (IPC), 2021 Edition — §18.08.010 (Ord. 2024-07-15A §17; see also the dedicated IPC codesAdopted entry above). International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), 2015 Edition — §18.11.010 ('The International Fuel Gas Code, 2015 Edition ... is adopted by reference'; Ord. 2019-02-11H §1) — notably NOT bumped to 2021 by the Town's 2024-07-15A omnibus code-update ordinance, unlike every other International code family in Chapter 18; this lag is a real, confirmed fact about the Town's current code, not an oversight in this file. International Existing Building Code (IEBC), 2021 Edition — §18.12.010 (Ord. 2024-07-15A §19; Ord. 2019-02-11G §1). International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), 2021 Edition — §18.045.010 (Ord. 2024-07-15A §9); see also the dedicated HB22-1362 entry below, which this same Article resolves. Every Article read states its provisions 'shall apply to the construction of, and renovations or additions to, all commercial and residential buildings within the Town' (near-identical boilerplate in each Article), confirming none of these adopted codes are residential- or commercial-only carve-outs.; SUPERSEDED 2026-07-23 (preserved for the record; see GAP CLOSED entry above for the current, correct figures): No IBC, IFC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, or IEBC edition is printed anywhere on the Town's live public-facing pages, its Building Permit Application, or its Use Tax Guidelines — Mountain View's public-facing materials remain IRC/NEC/IPC-focused. UPDATE 2026-07-23: the Town's Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Building Regulations), previously reported as unreachable (mountainview.municipal.codes/Code/18 returned a Cloudflare bot-challenge 403 to every curl/WebFetch attempt), was successfully accessed live via the Browser pane after clearing the Cloudflare challenge. Its Article list confirms Chapter 18 does include dedicated Articles for IBC (Art. 4, confirmed 2021 Edition, Ord. 2024-07-15A/2019-02-11A/2010-7), IRC (Art. 13, confirmed 2021 Edition, Ord. 2024-07-15A/2019-02-11I), Fire Code (Art. 5), Mechanical Code (Art. 7), Fuel Gas Code (Art. 11), Existing Building Code (Art. 12), and Energy Conservation Code (Art. 4.5) — this file's targeted 2026-07-23 chase read Articles 1, 2, 4, and 13 in full (fetching the specific reroof-timeline and fee-schedule figures it was scoped to close) but did NOT read Articles 5/7/8/11/12/4.5 for their specific edition years, so the IFC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC edition-year gap remains open pending a dedicated follow-up pass through those now-accessible Articles, rather than assumed.; GAP CLOSED 2026-07-23 (supersedes prior 'unresolved' note below, preserved for the record): the Town HAS taken its own HB22-1362 adoption action, codified directly in Municipal Code §18.045.010 (Article 4.5, Energy Conservation Code, read live 2026-07-23 at mountainview.municipal.codes/Code/18.4.5): 'In addition to the IECC, the Town of Mountain View will also be adopting the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code as required by State law under HB22-1362. These requirements will be in addition to those found in this Code.' (Ord. 2024-07-15A §9). The same Article's amendments (§18.045.020) further amend IECC Sections C401.2 and R401.2 to require commercial and residential buildings, respectively, to 'comply with the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code.' This directly and specifically confirms Town HB22-1362 compliance action, sourced from the codified ordinance itself rather than inferred.; SUPERSEDED 2026-07-23 (preserved for the record; see GAP CLOSED entry above): HB22-1362 (Colorado's statewide building energy code / greenhouse-gas-emissions law, requiring local governments to adopt an energy code and, per its later compliance milestones, the Colorado Electric and Solar Ready Code) is not mentioned anywhere on the Town's live Building Department, Building Permits, or Helpful Handouts pages as of this review. Given Mountain View's tiny size and thin published program (no separate energy-code page, no mechanical/energy-specific permit-type page), it is unclear from public sources whether the Town has taken its own HB22-1362 adoption action or is relying on some other mechanism; not stated as fact either way — flagged as unresolved rather than assumed.. Local amendments apply — see the Mountain View overview page for the full list.
