Permit types & fees
Building Permit (Structures, Carports, Fences, and Other Construction)
VerifiedRequired for any structure built within Town of Walsh limits, including buildings, carports, and fences. Reviewed and approved by the Town's Board of Trustees at its regularly scheduled monthly meeting (first Monday after the 10th of each month), after a completed application is submitted to the Town Clerk or Town Superintendent. No model building code (IBC/IRC or otherwise) has been adopted by the Town; this is a Board-approval process rather than a technical code-compliance plan review.

Solar PV Installation (Building Permit)
VerifiedThe Town of Walsh has no dedicated solar-PV application, fee, or standard — a rooftop or ground-mount solar installation is a 'structure built within town' and is therefore billed and reviewed under the Town's single general Building Permit process (Board of Trustees approval, $15.00 flat filing fee) that already covers buildings, carports, and fences (see residential-building-permit). No IBC/IRC or NEC-based technical plan review exists at the town level, and the Town's Permits page is silent on electrical work of any kind, including solar interconnection. Colorado's statewide solar-permit-fee cap (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113, enacted by HB21-1284 — $500 residential/$1,000 nonresidential aggregate fee cap) applies as a legal backstop but does not change the practical process here, since Walsh's flat $15 fee is already far below the cap.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Completed building permit application submitted to the Town Clerk or Town Superintendent prior to beginning installation — the Town's Permits page describes coverage as 'any structure built within town,' which a solar installation falls under; no solar-specific application or carve-out exists
- Board of Trustees approval required at a regularly scheduled meeting (first Monday after the 10th of each month)
- $15.00 flat filing fee due with application, same as any other structure
- No adopted model building code (IBC/IRC/NEC) applies at the town level — approval is a Board of Trustees governmental action, not a technical code-compliance plan review
- Colorado's statewide fee cap, C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113 (HB21-1284), limits any Colorado local government to charging no more than its actual cost, capped at $500.00 for a residential solar permit ($1,000.00 nonresidential) — not a binding constraint here since Walsh's flat $15 fee is already well under this ceiling, but cited for completeness
- No Town-administered electrical permit program was found; the Town's Permits page does not address electrical work (including PV interconnection) one way or the other — confirm directly with Walsh Town Hall (719-324-5411) whether any state or other process applies to the electrical portion of the installation
Required documents
- RequiredBuilding Permit ApplicationSame general application used for other structures; submitted in person or by contacting Walsh Town Hall — no standalone solar-specific form was found
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Filing Fee | $15.00 | Same flat fee that applies to any structure built within town limits, per the Town of Walsh's official Permits page — no distinct solar fee line exists |
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit
VerifiedThe Town of Walsh has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit, application, or fee, and its official Permits page (which lists only Burn Permit, Building Permit, and Mobile Home Permit) is entirely silent on electrical work of any kind, including EV charging equipment -- the same gap already documented for solar PV interconnection on this file's solar-pv-permit entry. If the EV charger installation involves a new structure (e.g., a carport or shelter to house the charger), that would fall under the Town's single general Building Permit process ($15.00 flat filing fee, Board of Trustees approval at its monthly meeting) the same way solar installations are treated as 'any structure built within town.' A standalone wall-mounted charger with no new structure has no identified TOWN-level permitting mechanism -- but because Walsh has no local electrical inspection program at all (its Permits page lists no electrical permit of any kind), the electrical/EVSE-circuit work itself falls under the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA/DPO)'s statewide electrical permit and fee schedule, the same state fallback mechanism that applies to all electrical work in jurisdictions without a local electrical inspector. Walsh's population (roughly 500) is far below the 10,000-person threshold that triggers 'covered municipality' status under Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act, effective 8/7/2024), so that statute's mandatory adoption and 3-business-day decision-notification requirements do not apply here.

Requirements
- No standalone EV charger/EVSE permit, application, or fee exists; the Town's official Permits page lists only Burn Permit, Building Permit, and Mobile Home Permit, with no electrical-work category of any kind
- If the installation includes a new structure (carport, shed, or similar to house the charger), a Building Permit application would be required per the Town's general 'any structure built within town' standard, submitted to the Town Clerk or Town Superintendent, with Board of Trustees approval at its monthly meeting (first Monday after the 10th)
- A standalone EVSE circuit/wall-mount with no associated new structure has no identified town-level permitting mechanism -- confirm directly with Walsh Town Hall (719-324-5411) whether any process (town or otherwise) applies
- No adopted model building or electrical code (IBC/IRC/NEC) applies at the town level for any permit type in this file; Board of Trustees approval is a governmental action, not a technical code-compliance plan review
- Walsh's population is far below the 10,000-person threshold for 'covered municipality' status under Colorado HB24-1173, so the Act's mandatory EV-permitting-standards adoption and 3-business-day decision timeline do not apply as a legal requirement here
Required documents
- OptionalBuilding Permit ApplicationSame general application used for other structures; would apply only if the EV charger installation includes a new structure. No EV-specific or electrical-specific form was found.
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Colorado State Electrical Board Permit Fee (EV charger/EVSE circuit) -- Section B, non-living-area installation | $90 base fee for valuation up to $2,000, plus $8.00 per additional $1,000 of valuation (rounded up) -- per the State Electrical Board's May 2019 published schedule; a 2024 Colorado legislative fiscal note (HB 24-1263) documents the base state electrical inspection fee increasing from $88 to $92 effective FY2024-25, so the current exact base figure may be modestly higher than $90 | Colorado Revised Statutes § 12-115-121 (State Electrical Board permit-fee authority; renumbered from the commonly-cited § 12-23-117 effective 10/1/2019). The Town of Walsh's own official Permits page lists only Burn Permit, Building Permit, and Mobile Home Permit -- no electrical permit or electrical inspector of any kind -- confirming the Town has no local electrical inspection program. Per DORA's own published framework, the Colorado State Electrical Board performs electrical inspections in locations throughout the state not inspected by a local authority, so all electrical work in Walsh, including an EV charger/EVSE circuit, falls under this state fee schedule. Confirm the current exact figure with the State Electrical Board, 303-894-7800, since fees are reviewed and adjusted periodically. |
| Building Permit Filing Fee (if a new structure is involved) | $15.00 | Same flat fee that applies to any structure built within town limits, per the Town of Walsh's official Permits page -- covers the structural/non-electrical portion only if the charger is paired with a new carport or shelter. |
