ASPEN/PITKIN COUNTY FIREPLACE AND WOODSTOVE REGULATIONS

number of fireplaces and woodstoves that can be installed in any building. Building permit applicants must file a
fireplace/woodstove registration with the City of Aspen Building Department or the Pitkin County Building Department before the
building permit is issued.

Old Snowmass.
