All contractors and subcontractors, (other than homeowner/builders) must obtain a Town of Silverthorne Business License by applying online. The Town of Silverthorne does not require "contractor licensing" as do some other jurisdictions. Business licenses are required to be renewed annually by December 31st. Plumbing contractors must provide a copy of their master’s license as well as a contractor’s license issued by the State of Colorado. If you have questions, please call 970-262-7300 or 970-262-7310.
NOTE: If you hire a general contractor, they must pull the building permit. If you are building your own house, acting as a homeowner builder, you will pull your building permit, and a business license is not required. If you are being paid to do work for someone else, you must be licensed with the Town.
NOTE: Please understand that in building your own home, you are obligated to fulfil the same responsibilities as a professional contractor, including knowledge of and complying with all requirements of the codes.
