Fee schedule

Plumbing Permit Fee
Sec. 15.02.030, Table 3 ("Plumbing permit and related inspection fees"). Show full citationSec. 15.02.030, Table 3 ("Plumbing permit and related inspection fees"). Worked example quoted verbatim from the code: "The plumbing permit fee for an installation with a total value of $8,400.00 would be $204.00, calculated as a $60.00 base fee + (9 x $16.00 additional fee)." Fees include three inspections (underground, rough-in, final); re-inspection fees are set out in the same section. Sec. 15.01.100 additionally provides that "Minimum permit and inspection fees shall comply with the minimum stated in Table 3 of this chapter", so Table 3 sets the floor for other permit types too. The full tier table is not reproduced here, so the increment boundary is not asserted. Town of Gypsum Code of Ordinances, Title 15 (BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION), Chapter 15.02 (TABLES). Title 15 was repealed and re-enacted in full by Ord. No. 2023-08, § 1(Exh. A), 2023-06-27; code current through Ord. No. 2025-18, enacted 2026-01-13 (Supp. No. 22). Code text as published on library.municode.com (accessed 2026-08-17).

Tips

  • For a simple fixture replacement that doesn't require plans, use the Town's one-time permit application rather than the full plan-submittal portal process — this is explicitly called out on the Building Permit Application page for smaller projects like plumbing fixture replacement.
