Tips

  • Unlike the Building Permit Fee (which uses a published valuation-tier table), the Mechanical Inspection fee is set off the actual cost of the job at the Building and Zoning office's discretion — call ahead (719-783-2282 ext. 12) to get a specific quote before budgeting.
  • If a contractor requests an inspection and is not ready when the inspector arrives, a $50/hour re-inspection fee applies — confirm work is truly ready before scheduling.

Westcliffe, Colorado has adopted: 2006 International Building Code (IBC), excluding all appendices unless specifically adopted — Westcliffe Municipal Code Title 3, Chapter 2, Section 3-2-1 (Ord. 7-2016, eff. 6/2/2016, repealing and replacing the section originally adopted by Ord. 3-1991, amended by Ord. 3-1996, Ord. 1-2000, Ord. 2-2008); 2006 International Residential Code (IRC), with Appendix E (Manufactured Housing Used as Dwellings) adopted in its entirety; 2006 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2006 International Fire Code (IFC), with Wet Mountain Fire Protection District named as the Department of Fire Prevention for the Town (Section 103.1 amendment); 2006 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — locally amended to replace all references to the International Property Maintenance Code; 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); No local International Plumbing Code (IPC) or National Electrical Code (NEC) edition is separately adopted by the Town — electrical and plumbing permitting/inspection authority is assigned entirely to the State of Colorado (see localAmendments and the electrical-permit/plumbing-permit entries below).; Currency note: the Town's own codified Municipal Code (Title 3, Chapter 2, most recently amended by Ord. 7-2016, eff. 6/2/2016) still specifies the 2006 ICC code family with no more recent edition-adoption ordinance found after a full chase (Municode library, Town press-release archive, and direct site search for a 2018/2021/2024-edition adoption ordinance all came up empty as of this review). Colorado is home-rule with no statewide-mandated code edition for a town this size, so the 2006 suite is treated as the current, governing adopted code for this file rather than assumed to have been silently upgraded.. Local amendments apply — see the Westcliffe overview page for the full list.
