City of Federal Heights

Federal Heights publishes a permit-requirements handout listing permit-required work such as furnace and water-heater replacement, basement finishes, remodeling, structural modifications, replacing windows and doors, patio covers, storage sheds, many decks, and roofing thresholds.

Note: Federal Heights publishes permit-required work, but the reviewed public sources did not provide a complete standalone exemption list. Confirm directly with building@fedheights.org before assuming any work is exempt.
