Town of Cheyenne Wells Fee Resolution effective January 14, 2026; Show full citationTown of Cheyenne Wells Fee Resolution effective January 14, 2026; no distinct demolition fee tier exists, so the general Building Permit Application Fee is the only published figure applicable. The original signed RES-02-2026 PDF (full 2-page fee schedule: 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) has no demolition-specific line item anywhere in the town's complete fee schedule. Board minutes (e.g. April 14, 2026: 'BUILDING, ANIMAL & PEDDLER PERMITS') 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.

Cheyenne Wells, Colorado has adopted: The Town of Cheyenne Wells publishes no specific International Code Council edition — IBC, IRC, IECC or similar — and no current National Electrical Code edition. None appears in Board of Trustees meeting minutes from June 2025 through January 2026 or in any town fee-schedule notice. This is recorded as unresolved rather than assumed. The Town's building-permit process does operate: it is evidenced by recurring line-item permit approvals in posted Board of Trustees minutes and a January 2026 fee resolution.; The town's own official website (townofcheyennewells.com, redirecting to chh.228.myftpupload.com) 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chapter (Sec. 15.04.020) was last amended by Ord. 172 in 1984 (5 cents/sq ft, or a flat $5.00 for other work) — clearly superseded in practice by the town's own January 14, 2026 fee resolution ($25 flat + $0.20/sq ft) documented in localAmendments below, but the underlying 1961 UBC Short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 repealed. This code-adoption ordinance predates and is distinct from the ICC (which did not exist until 1994), so it does not contradict the absence of a current ICC edition noted 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) whose current enforcement status versus informal Board-of-Trustees practice is unconfirmed. 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.
