Residential Addition / Interior Remodel Permit in Mountain Village, Colorado

Required for additions and interior/exterior remodels to existing single-family, duplex, and townhouse structures in Mountain Village. While this permitType's name and scope reflect residential projects specifically, the Town's own live OpenGov Building Department portal (mountainvillageco.portal.opengov.com -> Building Department) lists the actual underlying record type as 'Commercial and Residential Remodels' -- a single combined type covering both, not a residential-only workflow (also noted from the same primary source in the commercial-building-permit entry, which explains that commercial tenant fit-outs/remodels file under this same combined record type rather than a separate commercial permit). This entry is kept scoped to residential requirements/fees for clarity; a commercial remodel/tenant-finish project uses the identical OpenGov record type and fee structure documented here, with the commercial-specific requirements listed in commercial-building-permit (IBC cycle, Fire Code via Telluride Fire Protection District, etc.) applying instead of the IRC-based requirements below. Reviewed under the Town's currently-adopted IRC cycle as locally amended by Chapter 17.7 (for residential scope). Remodels are billed on a distinct fee basis ($1.00 per $400 of project valuation for the Road Impact Fee component) rather than the flat per-square-foot new-construction rate.

Tips

  • Remodel Road Impact Fees are calculated differently from new construction ($1 per $400 of valuation rather than $1 per gross square foot) — confirm your project is correctly classified before estimating total permit cost.
  • Furnace or boiler replacement triggered by a remodel's scope must meet the Town's direct-vent minimum AFUE requirements (92% furnace / 90% boiler) even if the rest of the project doesn't otherwise touch mechanical systems.
