Fee schedule
Building Permit Application Fee (applied to demolition permits per town fee resolution; no separate demolition-specific fee line item was found published)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.

Official information: https://www.townofcheyennewells.com (redirects to a GoDaddy-hosted staging domain, chh.228.myftpupload.com — confirmed live and reachable via real-browser navigation 2026-07-13, correcting an earlier finding that no standalone official town website existed. The site's Resources page hosts the town's actual downloadable Building Permit application form ('BUILDING PERMIT 1', .doc) and its current Municipal Code ('municipal_code.doc'), but has NO dedicated permitting/fee-schedule subpage or stated review-timeline language — see codesAdopted and reviewTimelineNote below for what was found in those two documents. https://kiowacountypress.net remains the more complete source for this town's recent (2025-2026) fee-resolution and permit-approval activity via its own Board of Trustees meeting minutes.).
Cheyenne Wells, Colorado has adopted: No specific International Code Council (ICC) edition (IBC/IRC/IECC/etc.) or current National Electrical Code edition was found published anywhere for the Town of Cheyenne Wells — not on any council/board of trustees meeting minutes (reviewed June 2025 through January 2026), not on any town fee-schedule notice. This is recorded honestly as unresolved rather than assumed from a peer jurisdiction; Cheyenne Wells' modern building-permit process (see permitTypes below) is evidenced through recurring line-item permit approvals in publicly posted Board of Trustees minutes and a January 2026 fee resolution.; UPDATE 2026-07-13 (real-browser re-chase): the town's own official website (townofcheyennewells.com, redirecting to chh.228.myftpupload.com) — not locatable in an earlier pass — hosts a downloadable current Municipal Code (municipal_code.doc, last saved 2024-05-16 per the file's own metadata) whose Title 15 'Buildings and Construction,' Chapter 15.04 'Building Code,' Section 15.04.010 states verbatim: 'There is adopted by the town... that certain building code known as the Uniform Building Code, Short Form, 1961 Edition, as published by the International Conference of Building Officials... (Ord. 123 S1, 1963).' The fee table in this same chapter (Sec. 15.04.020) was last amended by Ord. 172 in 1984 (5 cents/sq ft, or a flat $5.00 for other work) — clearly superseded in practice by the town's own January 14, 2026 fee resolution ($25 flat + $0.20/sq ft) documented in localAmendments below, but the underlying 1961 UBC Short Form code adoption itself has not been found repealed. This is a genuine, sourced code-adoption ordinance — predating and distinct from the ICC (which did not exist until 1994) — so it does not contradict the 'no ICC edition found' finding above, but it does mean the town is not wholly without ANY adopted building code on its own books; it is simply a very old one (1961 UBC Short Form via 1963/1984 ordinances) that this file could not confirm is still actively enforced versus superseded by informal Board-of-Trustees practice. Chapter 15.08 'Electrical Code' (Ord. 48, 1917) separately requires (Sec. 15.08.040(D)) that 'the inspector must in all cases inspect any electric wiring within the corporate limits of the town within forty-eight (48) hours of the receipt of notice from the electrical wiring contractor that the work is completed (holidays and Sundays not included)' — this is a POST-completion field-inspection response window for electrical work specifically, not a plan-review/permit-issuance turnaround, and is not encoded as reviewTimelineDays for that reason (see reviewTimelineNote on the residential-building-permit entry).. Local amendments apply — see the Cheyenne Wells overview page for the full list.
Yes. Board of Trustees minutes across multiple months (e.g. August 2025, November 2025) show individually named demolition and trailer-removal permits reviewed by the Town Manager and approved by Board motion.
