Do I need a permit for bathroom remodel in Erie?
It depends. Whether bathroom remodel needs a permit in Erie comes down to the details of your project.
Colorado has no statewide building code. Building codes are adopted and enforced by each city or county, and some jurisdictions have adopted none; where that happens the state adopts codes only for hotels, motels, and multifamily buildings, not single-family homes. Whether finish work or moving a wall needs a building permit depends on the code your city or county adopted. Electrical and plumbing work need their own permits. The state Electrical and Plumbing Boards (DORA) issue permits and inspect where a city or county has no electrical or plumbing inspection program; where it does, the local office issues them. Only the homeowner or a registered plumbing or electrical contractor may do that work under state law.
