Details your installer can help confirm
Wood stove permits in Parker.
Apply to the Town of Parker Building Division through eTRAKiT.
Inside town limits, the Town of Parker Building Division issues building permits, and all applications go through its eTRAKiT portal. Its ‘When Permits are Required’ page says permits are required to install EPA Phase 2-approved wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. All contractors must be licensed in the Town of Parker, and fire permits come from South Metro Fire Rescue, not the town. Call the Building Permit Counter at 303.841.1970 to confirm a contractor has pulled the permit. Check that your address is in the town, not unincorporated Douglas County, before applying.
Town of Parker: When Permits are RequiredParker is inside the metro Denver Action Day area.
CDPHE restricts indoor burning on air-quality Action Days, November through March, in all of Douglas County, which takes in Parker. EPA-certified stoves, approved pellet stoves and Colorado-approved masonry heaters are exempt; uncertified stoves and conventional fireplaces must not be used. Parker’s municipal code has no high-pollution-day chapter that we found, and CDPHE says it enforces where no local ordinance exists. A stove that meets Parker’s certification rule should already be exempt. Check the daily status.
CDPHE indoor burning restrictionsBuying a stove? Parker’s code wants certification.
Parker readopted its mechanical code on the 2024 International Mechanical Code, and amended Section 905.1 to say a certified solid-fuel burning device will be permitted in the town when it meets EPA Phase II or Colorado Phase III emissions testing as defined in state regulations. The same ordinance sets a fine of up to $499 per violation, each day a separate offense. Have the model’s certification ready when you apply.
Town of Parker: 2024 International Mechanical Code amendments (PDF)Used or uncertified stove? Not in metro Denver.
CDPHE says any indoor burning device bought or installed in the seven-county metro Denver area, which includes Douglas County, must meet current emission standards, and that a used, uncertified stove cannot be sold there. Statewide, Regulation No. 4 has barred selling or installing a new wood-burning stove that misses EPA standards since May 15, 2020. The 7,000-foot elevation exemption covers use only, not sale or installation.
CDPHE indoor burning frequently requested informationSummer fire bans do not stop an indoor stove.
Parker Code Chapter 6.06 sets a standing Stage 1 fire ban on open fires unless the Emergency Manager suspends it, and allows a stricter Stage 2 ban in extreme fire danger. Both stages except fires contained within fireplaces and wood-burning stoves within buildings. Outdoor wood fires, including warming fires, are the target. The Parker Police Department administers and enforces the chapter.

What to ask a Parker installer.

- Are you licensed with the Town of Parker, and will you apply for the permit through eTRAKiT?
- Is my address inside the Town of Parker or in unincorporated Douglas County, and who issues the permit if it is not the town?

Parker wood stove installation FAQs.
Does Parker require a permit for a wood stove?
Yes. The Town of Parker’s permit guide lists EPA Phase 2-approved wood-burning stoves and fireplaces among appliances that need a permit, and applications go through eTRAKiT. Contractors must be licensed with the town. Call the Building Division at 303.841.1970 if you are unsure what to submit.
Can I use my stove on a winter Action Day or during an outage?
If it is EPA certified, yes: CDPHE exempts certified stoves and inserts from Action Day limits in Douglas County. Uncertified stoves and conventional fireplaces must not be used on Action Days from November through March, and we found no Parker outage exemption. A new stove permitted under Parker’s code should already be certified.
Can I burn my wood stove during a summer fire ban?
Parker Code Chapter 6.06 excepts fires contained within fireplaces and wood-burning stoves inside buildings from both Stage 1 and Stage 2 fire bans. The bans target outdoor open fires, fireworks and similar risks. Stage 1 applies unless the Emergency Manager suspends it.
