Electrical Permit
VerifiedElectrical permitting for Winter Park, Fraser, and Granby is administered directly by the Colorado State Electrical Board (Division of Professions and Occupations), NOT by the local Winter Park/Fraser/Granby Building Department. This is confirmed verbatim on the Town's own Building Division page: 'The Colorado State Electrical Board handles all electrical permitting in Winter Park, Fraser and Granby.'
Verified 2026-07-06 · Source
Requirements
- Apply directly to the Colorado State Electrical Board using the state's own Electrical Permit Application (linked from the Town's Building Division page as 'Download the Colorado State Electrical Application')
- Electrical work must be performed by a Colorado-licensed electrician; per the Town Code 6-1-10 (National Electrical Code section), it is unlawful to install/alter/repair electrical systems in violation of the NEC as adopted
- The State Electrical Board publishes its own Electrician License Contemporaneous Review Guidelines, linked from the Town's Building Division page
- The Town of Winter Park has separately adopted the NEC (2020 Edition per its current Codes Adopted by Reference list) by reference as a secondary code, and states it will concurrently adopt whatever edition the State of Colorado next adopts — this governs the substantive electrical standard even though the STATE handles permit issuance and inspection
- The National Electrical Code, Title 12 Article 23 of the Colorado State Electrical Laws and Rules and Regulations, applies; where Colorado's electrical code is more restrictive than the base NEC, the more restrictive standard controls
