Residential Building Permit (New Construction)
Calhan's printed Building Permit Application does not include a pre-printed line item for new single-family residential construction (unlike Re-Roof, Siding, Water Heater, Furnace, Remodel, and Demolition, which are explicitly listed with flat or value-based fees). New construction is handled through the form's open 'Other' line and reviewed under the Town's adopted Pikes Peak Regional Building Code (PPRBC), 2023 Edition, 2nd Printing, per Calhan Municipal Code Sec. 6.01.020. Because it is not a named, priced line item on the Town's own working application, this entry is documented at confidence: partial for fee/process specifics, while the code-adoption facts and application mechanics themselves are verified.

Electrical Permit (State-Administered)
VerifiedCalhan does not run its own electrical inspection program. The Town's own Building Permit Application states explicitly: 'ELECTRICAL PERMITS ARE ISSUED THROUGH THE STATE OF COLORADO.' All electrical permitting and inspection in Calhan is handled by the Colorado State Electrical Board, a division of DORA, under the statewide default rule for jurisdictions without a certified local electrical program (CRS 12-23-117 et seq.).

Requirements
- Apply directly through the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations (DORA) Electrical and Plumbing Permits system, not through the Town of Calhan
- State-licensed electrical contractor (or, where permitted, a qualifying homeowner) required per Colorado Electrical Board licensing rules
- Fee schedule and inspection process are set entirely by the State, not the Town

Plumbing Permit (State-Default, Unconfirmed Local Program)
Calhan's Building Permit Application and Building Code & Permits page do not list a distinct plumbing permit type, fee, or inspection process — only Water Service and Sewer Service utility-tap line items (Town-administered utility connections, not IPC permits) appear on the application form. Because Calhan shows no evidence of running its own certified plumbing inspection program (unlike its self-run building/roofing/mechanical program), this file documents plumbing work as defaulting to the Colorado State Plumbing Board (DORA) under the statewide default rule, consistent with the Town's identical, explicitly-stated treatment of electrical work. This determination could not be independently verified against DORA's live jurisdiction list (the dpo.colorado.gov jurisdiction list renders via client-side JavaScript not retrievable by static fetch), so this entry is marked confidence: partial.
