Tips

  • Bring proof of both your Colorado state plumbing license and current liability insurance when submitting a plumbing permit application — the Town's own page lists these as required application components alongside the $100 Town fee.
  • Unlike electrical work, plumbing IS a Town-administered permit in Bow Mar — do not assume plumbing defers to the state Plumbing Board the way electrical does.
