Pueblo County: roof permit rules and hail requirements

Pueblo Regional Building Department (PRBD)

Pueblo city and county roofing runs through one regional authority, the Pueblo Regional Building Department, under the 2021 International Codes with regional amendments. Reroofs are permitted work, ice barrier is explicitly not required, typical asphalt reroofs skip the mid-roof inspection, and solar panels coming off for a reroof need a dedicated Remove-and-Reset permit.

Ice barrier Explicitly not required per the regional amendment to R905.1.2 — the opposite of Larimer and Centennial. Colorado's roofing rules genuinely differ county to county.
Inspections Typical asphalt and direct-to-deck metal reroofs on homes need no mid-roof inspection; tile roofs require a dry-in inspection after underlayment and battens, before any tile is loaded.
Solar A Remove-and-Reset solar permit, obtained by a licensed contractor, is required before arrays are detached for a reroof.
Trade lines Roofers may only replace the vent cap, storm collar, and jack on a B-vent — repair or replacement of the B-vent itself requires a licensed HVAC contractor and permit. Drip edge required at eaves and rakes; asphalt shingles banned below 2:12 pitch.
