All CPD counters will be temporarily closed from 8 - 9 a.m. on Tuesday, January 9, including licensing, cashiering, and inspections. The permit counter, which usually opens at 8 a.m., will open at 9 a.m. 

New  lawn irrigation and  green roof license types are available for any entity having the appropriate experience who wishes to be part of a green roof design and installation team. These licenses help ensure a high standard of green roof construction by individuals who are skilled in selecting vegetation appropriate for our climate and equipping it for successful growth and maintenance going forward, long after a green roof installation is complete. 

Please note that licensed roofing contractors in Denver will need to obtain licenses in  lawn irrigation and  green roof installation if they intend to build green roofs. 

With the Denver Green Roofs Ordinance now in effect, any roof project on a building over 25,000 sq. ft. that will include a green roof component or is requesting an exemption or a variance from the ordinance must submit the Green Roof Declaration Form (PDF download). 

If you believe your project to be exempt from the green roof requirement, email your completed form to  [email protected]. Staff will verify your exemption before issuing your roof permit. For all other projects--or if you are requesting an exemption on the basis of major structural alterations being necessary--submit the form and the accompanying documentation it calls for to the  Log In line at the permit counter.
