ATTENTION: All Contractors

As of February 17, 2012, the City and County of Broomfield has changed contractor classifications.  The class B contractor's license will be required for contractors performing work on one and two family homes with the exception of installing roofing, fences, HVAC, fire or lawn sprinklers, and site work excavation.  Please see our contractor license application to determine what license you need and the  insurance required.  If you are currently registered with Broomfield, your license will be accepted until its expiration date;  at that time you will be required to renew under the new classification.  Please contact us if you have questions regarding the class of license you need.

CODES

The City and County of Broomfield has proposed a new ordinance that modifies the current building code regarding re-roofing with asphalt shingles.  There will be a public hearing regarding this change on April 24, 2012, at 6:00 pm in the Council Chambers.

Proposed Ordinance No. 1953 would approve changes to the Broomfield Municipal Code to allow up to two layers of asphalt shingles on re-roof permits.

International Codes
Broomfield has adopted the 2009 Series of International Codes with an effective date of Monday, March 7, 2011.  Plan submittal date does not determine which code will be enforced.  Permits ISSUED on or after the effective date shall comply with the newly adopted 2009 codes.  You may review a copy of the adoption ordinance which includes local amendments to the 2009 International Codes.  This is not the complete Chapter 15 of the Broomfield Municipal Code.

NOTE:  The State of Colorado has adopted the 2011 NEC effective July 1, 2011.  Please see the handout outlining major changes relating to residential construction.
