- Office hours
- Town Hall does not publish specific daily office hours on its Contact Us or Building Permits pages as of this review; the Town's public-works page separately states Public Works operates 7:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday (except holidays), and the site-wide holiday-closure banner implies a standard 9:00 a.m. reopening time, but neither is confirmed as the Building Department's specific window. Call 970-834-2844 to confirm hours before visiting in person.

Published scheduling rules
- Ault's plan review, building official, and inspection services are performed by SAFEbuilt Colorado under contract to the Town, not by Town staff directly — expect correspondence and inspection scheduling to come from SAFEbuilt. (Residential Building Permit (New Construction))
- The SAFEbuilt Re-roofing guide's inspection-scheduling email ('windsor@safebuilt.com') and its impact-resistant-shingle exception ('THE TOWN OF TIMNATH') are boilerplate from a different SAFEbuilt Colorado client town and are NOT represented as Ault-specific — confirm Ault's actual inspection scheduling method directly with SAFEbuilt/Town Hall (970-834-2844). (Roofing Permit (Re-Roof))
- The Patio Covers/Carports Guide's inspection-scheduling email ('windsor@safebuilt.com') is the same cross-town SAFEbuilt boilerplate already flagged elsewhere in this file (e.g., the Re-Roofing guide) — not Ault-specific; confirm Ault's actual inspection scheduling method with SAFEbuilt/Town Hall (970-834-2844). (Deck / Covered Patio Permit)
- Ault contracts its building official, plan review, and inspection functions to SAFEbuilt Colorado — expect to interact with SAFEbuilt (not Town staff directly) for plan review correspondence and inspection scheduling, though applications and fee payment are administered through the Town.
