Thornton & Westminster: Testing Requirements & FAQ
Q: I’m applying for a permit in Thornton; do I really need an asbestos test for a small project? A: If you are disturbing more than 32 square feet of surfacing material (like drywall, flooring, or textured ceilings), the City of Thornton requires a certified asbestos report. This is a state law designed to protect you, your family, and your contractors from hidden fibers.
Q: Does Westminster have an "Any Age" rule for inspections? A: Yes. Whether your home was built in 1950 or 2020, Westminster follows the CDPHE "any age" rule. Even newer building materials can occasionally contain asbestos, and the city requires proof of a negative test before issuing most renovation permits.
Q: Can I just take my own samples to a lab? A: For a legal building permit in Colorado, the samples must be collected by a State-Certified Asbestos Building Inspector (CABI). Samples taken by homeowners are generally not accepted for permit applications in Thornton or Westminster.
