Tips
- Unlike General Contractors, roofing contractors, and mechanical contractors (who need Town-issued ICC-certified building licenses), electrical contractors need ONLY their Colorado state license plus Town registration — confirm you're not over-applying the ICC-certification requirement to this trade.
- Town inspectors conduct random, contemporaneous license checks on job sites — keep license/apprentice documentation on hand at all times, not just at permit application.

Mountain Village, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — current per the Town's live Building Division 'Codes & Guides' listing; 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — current per the same live listing; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2024 International Fire Code (IFC) — enforced by the Telluride Fire Protection District (TFPD) per Chapter 17.7.19 of the Building Regulations; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70), as adopted by the State of Colorado; 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), plus the Town's own 'Local Energy Saving Measures' (HERS ratings, Smart Building Program/REMP) layered on top per Chapter 17.7.12; International Plumbing Code (IPC), as adopted by the State of Colorado — 2024 edition per the live Codes & Guides listing; Prior code cycle (superseded, retained for reference only): 2018-edition IBC/IRC/IEBC/IMC/IFGC/IPC/IPMC and 2020 NEC, per the Town's currently-posted 'CHAPTER 17.7 BUILDING REGULATIONS' PDF (townofmountainvillage.com/site/assets/files/40818/building_regulations.pdf) — this PDF's detailed section-by-section amendment text (climatic design table, contractor licensing exam list, IECC HERS/REMP mechanics, plumbing/mechanical/electrical amendments) is the only full amendment text this session could access (the live mountainvillage.municipal.codes host, which likely carries the current 2024-cycle amendment text, returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches even with full browser headers, consistent with this corpus's recurring civic-code-host blocking pattern). The Town's live Building Division page confirms Ordinance 2025-05 updated Chapter 17.7 to the 2024 ICC code cycle, but this session could not pull that ordinance's specific amendment-section text directly — administrative structure (Building Division under Planning and Development Services, permit expiration/fee/inspection provisions, contractor licensing structure) is treated as verified-current since those provisions are corroborated by the live page; code-specific numeric amendments below (snow load, wind speed, etc.) are sourced from the 2018-cycle PDF and flagged as potentially superseded rather than silently presented as current 2024-cycle figures.; All codes locally amended via Mountain Village Municipal Code Chapter 17.7 (Building Regulations, within the Community Development Code/CDC).. Local amendments apply — see the Mountain Village overview page for the full list.
No. Electrical contractors are required to be licensed through the State of Colorado (Master and Contractor licenses) and registered with the Town, but are NOT part of the ICC-certification/Town-building-license requirement that applies to general, roofing, and mechanical contractors. There is no Town registration fee for the electrical trade.
