Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system...§R105.1
Code reference
This is codified in Brighton Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 15 (Buildings and Construction), particularly Article 15-28 (International Residential Code adoption and amendments).
Building
One-story detached accessory structures (e.g., sheds, playhouses) ≤ 200 sq ft floor area (zoning must still be met); retaining walls ≤ 4 ft high (footing to top); painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops, and similar finish work; prefabricated swimming pools < 24" deep; swing set
Electrical
Listed plug-and-cord temporary decorative lighting; replacement of a circuit breaker (same location/capacity); low-voltage wiring/devices (< 25 volts, ≤ 50 watts); minor repairs like changing bulbs or same-location fixture/outlet replacement.
Notes on exemptions and triggers
The FAQ lists slightly varying shed thresholds (e.g., < 120 sq ft in one place); the dedicated permit guide (200 sq ft) is the more specific reference.
Code reference
Any structural alteration, enlargement, or repair affecting the structure generally triggers a permit under the broad “alter/repair” language of R105.1 (no separate valuation-based threshold or explicit “structural trigger” list beyond this).
Use tax/fee basis
Use tax is 3.75% applied to 50% of the project valuation (materials + labor).

Code reference
Colorado state law (e.g., HB 22-1362) requires adoption of the 2021 IECC (plus electric/solar ready provisions) when updating other building codes, but Brighton’s published list aligns with the 2021 edition without further local overrides described.
Code reference

Code reference
Key prescriptive requirements relevant to remodels/additions are drawn from the 2021 IECC (base code) for CZ 5B.
Code reference
Specific numeric values and sections are not detailed in Brighton’s public code listings or amendments pages; refer directly to the 2021 IECC Table R402.1.2 (or equivalent) and related sections for wall/ceiling insulation R-values or U-factors, air-sealing thresholds (typically tested or prescriptiv
Code reference
The city adopts the 2021 IECC via its standard building code adoption process (see codes page and related ordinances adopting the 2021 I-Codes).

What drywall work covers

Drywall projects in the Denver metro include hanging, taping, texturing, and patching walls and ceilings. Moisture-resistant boards are common in baths and laundry areas. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates drywall with framing and finishing trades. Cost is project-specific and depends on area, texture match, and access.

text

Texture and wet areas

Matching existing texture takes skill and lighting checks. Wet areas need the right board type and coordination with waterproofing trades.

text

Permits and who coordinates the work

Small patches often do not need a City and County of Denver building permit. New walls in a remodel are usually covered under the broader CPD building permit. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades when electrical or plumbing rough-in is tied to the walls.
