Permit types & fees
Residential Building Permit

Requirements
- Permit application submitted to the Town (Town Manager/Town Clerk Administrator's office)
- Town Manager inspects and signs the permit prior to Board of Trustees approval
- Board of Trustees approves each permit individually by motion at a regular monthly meeting — this is a genuinely distinct approval step from a staff-level administrative permit process used in larger jurisdictions in this corpus
- No specific code edition (IBC/IRC) requirement was found published; no design review or architectural review process was found

|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Application Fee (applied to demolition permits per town fee resolution; no separate demolition-specific fee line item was found published) | $25.00 | Town of Cheyenne Wells Fee Resolution effective January 14, 2026; no distinct demolition fee tier was located, so the general Building Permit Application Fee is the only published figure applicable. CONFIRMED 2026-07-23 against the original signed RES-02-2026 PDF (full 2-page fee schedule read in full: Daily Room Rental, Building Permit Application Fee, Fence/Sidewalk/Driveway, Structural Sq Ft Fee, Burn Permit, Zoning/Animal Permit, animal fees, Peddler's License tiers, Circus/Pool Table/Liquor licenses, water/labor/equipment/court fees) — no demolition-specific line item exists anywhere in the town's complete fee schedule, a verified-negative rather than an unchecked gap. Original Board minutes (e.g. April 14, 2026: 'BUILDING, ANIMAL & PEDDLER PERMITS') further confirm demolition/teardown permits (e.g. Phil and Debbie Knudsen 'Teardown Sheds/Home,' Zane and Anne Galli 'Teardown Carport') are filed and approved under the same general 'Building Permits' agenda category as any other structural permit, corroborating that the general Building Permit Application Fee is the governing figure rather than an assumption. |
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Permit
VerifiedNo dedicated solar/photovoltaic permit type, fee line, or code reference was found for Cheyenne Wells across any source reviewed for this town -- its own downloadable Building Permit application form, its January 14, 2026 Fee Resolution (as reported in Board of Trustees meeting coverage), and its current Municipal Code Title 15 (Buildings and Construction). A rooftop or ground-mount solar PV installation within town limits would most likely be processed the same way as any other structural project evidenced in this file: submitted to the Town, inspected/signed by the Town Manager, and approved by Board of Trustees motion at a regular monthly meeting, billed under the same flat Building Permit Application Fee plus per-square-foot Structural Square Foot Fee used for the general residential-building-permit entry -- but this is inferred from the town's general permitting pattern, not independently confirmed against a solar-specific record in the town's public minutes.

Requirements
- Permit application submitted to the Town (Town Manager/Town Clerk Administrator's office), same intake process as any other structural project
- Town Manager inspects and signs the permit prior to Board of Trustees approval
- Board of Trustees approves the permit individually by motion at a regular monthly meeting
- No specific code edition, design-review process, or solar-specific requirement was found published by the Town
- Electrical interconnection work is inferred (not verified) to default to Colorado DORA's Division of Professions and Occupations state program, per the same reasoning applied to the electrical-permit gap noted in this file's localAmendments -- no town-run electrical inspection program evidence was found for any trade, including solar

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Application Fee (applied to solar PV per the Town's general fee resolution; no separate solar-specific fee line item was found published) | $25.00 | Town of Cheyenne Wells Fee Resolution effective January 14, 2026, per Board of Trustees meeting coverage (Kiowa County Press); no distinct solar/photovoltaic fee tier was located anywhere in the town's public materials, checked directly on 2026-07-20. Colorado's statewide solar permit fee cap (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113, HB21-1284: $500 residential / $1,000 commercial) would apply as a ceiling regardless, though Cheyenne Wells' own flat-plus-per-square-foot structure is already well under that ceiling for a typical residential system. |
| Structural Square Foot Fee | $0.20 per sq ft | Town of Cheyenne Wells Fee Resolution effective January 14, 2026; applies to structural work generally -- not confirmed to specifically include or exclude a solar racking/mounting scope |
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedNo dedicated EV charger, EVSE, or electric vehicle charging station permit type, fee line, or code reference was found for Cheyenne Wells across any source reviewed for this town -- its own downloadable Building Permit application form, its January 14, 2026 Fee Resolution (as reported in Board of Trustees meeting coverage), and its current Municipal Code Title 15 (Buildings and Construction). A residential Level 2 EVSE circuit installation would most likely be processed the same way as any other electrical scope evidenced in this file: submitted to the Town, inspected/signed by the Town Manager, and approved by Board of Trustees motion at a regular monthly meeting -- but this is inferred from the town's general permitting pattern (the same inference already applied to the solar-pv-permit entry in this file), not independently confirmed against an EV-specific record in the town's public minutes.

No distinct EV charger/EVSE or electrical-specific fee tier appears anywhere in the resolution's full fee schedule (also checked directly); the general Building Permit Application Fee is the only applicable governing figure. |
