Permit process note
A roofing permit is required, and roofing materials may not be stocked on the driveway or roof before the permit is issued (stocking early results in a triple permit fee and stop-work order). PPRBD serves El Paso County and its municipalities including Colorado Springs.
Inspection requirements
Typical asphalt roofing and direct-to-deck metal shingles on residential homes do not require a mid-roof inspection. Properties above 7,000 ft elevation require an ice barrier of two cemented layers of underlayment or a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen sheet from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line.
