Found in the same Ordinance No. 9, Series 2022 exhibit as the Building Permit 'Appendix L' table (see building-permit permitType) — a 'MECHANICAL/FUEL GAS CODE FEE SCHEDULE' table attached to Chapter 14.10's International Mechanical Code Section 109.2, which reads: 'The fees for mechanical work shall be as set forth in the Mechanical/Fuel Gas Code fee schedule, attached hereto.' Source: Ordinance No. 9, Series 2022, City of Gunnison, adopted 11/08/2022, at gunnisonco.gov/departments/city_clerk/ordinance.no9.series2022.pdf (linked from the City Clerk Ordinances page). This schedule is not reproduced in the Jan. 1, 2026 Community Development Fee Table PDF or the citywide Resolution No. 3, Series 2026 fee schedule (both re-checked in full 2026-07-19, 2 and 10 pages respectively) — those cover only Community Development/Building & Planning line items, not the Mechanical/Fuel Gas-specific table, which remains governed by this still-current (unamended, per ecode360's 'legislation through 03-24-2026' notice) 2022 ordinance exhibit. This SUPERSEDES the previously-flagged 'Example SFR Building Valuation Worksheet' (revised 08/2019) as the correct current source — that worksheet was a staff-created illustrative estimate, not the actual adopted fee ordinance, though its rates were in the same ballpark.Review timeline

Tips
- The City's current (Jan. 1, 2026) Community Development Fee Table does not itself publish a mechanical permit fee schedule — that schedule lives instead in Ordinance No. 9, Series 2022's 'Mechanical/Fuel Gas Code Fee Schedule' exhibit, which remains in force and is the correct current source (not the dated 2019/2022 example valuation worksheet's per-fixture rates).
