Electrical contractors operating in Aurora, Colorado, must prioritize state-level compliance while adhering to local city administrative procedures. The foundation of your authority to work is the Colorado State Electrical Contractor license. Once licensed by the state, you must register with the City of Aurora Building Division to perform work within city limits.
Permitting is handled on a project-by-project basis through the Aurora e-permits system. It is critical to ensure that all work adheres to the 2020 National Electrical Code as amended by the city. Failure to secure proper permits or pass mandatory inspections can lead to stop-work orders and potential legal penalties.
