Operating as a general contractor in Aurora, Colorado, requires strict adherence to both municipal licensing and building code standards. The city utilizes a tiered licensing system that dictates the scope of work you are legally permitted to perform. Before starting any project, ensure your business is registered with the state and that you have obtained the appropriate local contractor license from the City of Aurora.
Permitting is a critical component of the compliance process. All structural, electrical, and mechanical modifications must be permitted through the Aurora e-Permit Center. Failure to secure permits or pass mandatory inspections can lead to stop-work orders, fines, and potential legal liability. Always verify the most current code adoptions and fee schedules directly through the city's official website.
