The short answer
A typical asphalt shingle re-roof on an existing one- or two-family house or townhome is a $135 PPRBD permit.
Pikes Peak Regional Building Department's published fee schedule lists $135.00 under Table A.1 for asphalt shingle reroof work on existing one- and two-family dwellings and townhomes. The same table lists $135 for a stucco reroof and $115 for wood or composite siding. Commercial and multifamily work is priced by valuation, not by that flat line.
A permit is required for roof covering replacement over 100 square feet (2023 Pikes Peak Regional Building Code 105.2.1, item 14). If you hire a contractor, that contractor must be licensed with PPRBD and must pull the permit. PPRBD does not issue a homeowner permit for work a contractor will perform. Starting the job without a permit can bring a stop-work and a triple fee. Stocking materials on site counts as starting the job.
When Homey does the work, we pull the permit as contractor of record. Confirm any contractor's license in PPRBD's public search, or call 719-327-2880, before you sign.

The rules
Tear-off, inspections, ice barrier, and Class A in Colorado Springs.
- Full tear-off. Existing roof covering comes off (IRC 908.3). Overlays are not the standard path.
- Mid-roof inspection. Not required for a typical asphalt shingle re-roof or for metal applied direct to the deck. Tile needs a dry-in inspection before material is stocked on the roof.
- Ice barrier. Required above 7,000 feet. It is not required below that elevation under the PPRBD guidance we reviewed.
- Drip edge is required.
- Class A is the minimum roof covering for one- and two-family dwellings in the City of Colorado Springs, excluding solid wood (Appendix D).
