Morrison's adopted energy code is still the 2015 IECC (per Section 9-1-2, unchanged since original codification), so the HB22-1362 floor (2021 IECC-equivalent performance from 7/1/2023-6/30/2026; Model Low Energy and Carbon Code-equivalent performance from 7/1/2026 onward) has NOT yet been triggered for Morrison because the Town has not updated its building code since adopting the 2015 cycle. This is a genuine, current compliance gap/lag relative to HB22-1362's intent, not an omission by this file — confirmed against the Colorado Energy Office's published HB22-1362 timeline.

Electrical Permit
VerifiedRequired for electrical work in Morrison, either as part of a general Building Permit (new construction/addition) or as a standalone 'electrical only permit.' Governed by the National Electrical Code edition currently adopted by the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA). The Town issues its own electrical permits and performs contemporaneous review of the installing electrician's state license per CRS 12-23-105/110.5/116(10) and House Bill 2016-1073.

Plumbing Permit
VerifiedRequired for plumbing work in Morrison, issued as part of the Town's general Building Permit process. Governed by the 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC) as adopted by Morrison Municipal Code Section 9-1-2.
Verified 2026-07-23 · Source

Re-chased 2026-07-23: located 'Procedure for Contemporaneous Reviews of Electrical and Plumbing Licenses' (Colorado Chapter ICC guide, adopted/hosted by the Town in its Building Department Document Center, Document ID 1229) — this guide, developed under HB19-1086 (Plumbing, effective 1/1/2020) and SB19-156 (Electrical, effective 7/1/2019), confirms inspections of projects requiring a plumbing permit must include a contemporaneous review of plumbing licenses (full or partial, at the inspector's discretion), with non-compliance reportable to the State Plumbing Board under C.R.S. Title 12, Article 58/155 — Morrison's plumbing-license review process is thus confirmed to mirror its electrical process rather than being an undocumented gap. This document was found via the Document Center's Building Department folder tree (Ant Design tree component, reachable via its internal AJAX API), not linked from the main Building Department webpage — a new avenue beyond the page/Document Center/code checks made in the prior (2026-07-06) review

Roofing Permit (Re-Roof / Re-Shingle)
VerifiedRequired for re-roofing (re-shingle) work in Morrison. Governed by the 2015 IRC/IBC as adopted; billed as a flat Single Stop Fee rather than the full valuation-based Building Permit Fee when the scope is a standalone re-roof.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Permit
VerifiedMorrison publishes no distinct EV-charger permit type, checklist, or fee line — confirmed against the Town's Permits & Checklists page, which lists Building, Commercial, Residential, Electrical, and various how-to guides (garage, patio, carport, deck, reroof, etc.) with no EV-charger/EVSE entry. A new circuit, outlet, or panel/service upgrade to serve an EV charger would be processed as a standalone 'electrical only permit,' governed by the National Electrical Code edition adopted by the Colorado State Electrical Board and reviewed under Morrison's contemporaneous electrician-license-verification process (CRS 12-23-105/110.5/116(10)). Morrison's small population (roughly 430 residents) is well below the 10,000-resident municipal threshold that triggers Colorado HB24-1173's EV-charging-permit mandate.

This is a confirmed negative (no such fee line exists), not an unpublished gap — reached via the Town's clean, standalone Fee Schedule PDFs (Document Center) rather than the noisier full Board of Trustees agenda-packet PDF used in the 2026-07-20 chase. |

Decks are addressed as a distinct project type on the Town's Permits & Checklists guidance; over-height fences are billed as a flat Single Stop Fee. Fences at or under 6 feet require a separate Fence Permit Application (a zoning/land-use matter, not modeled as a building-code permitType in this file).

Solar PV Permit
VerifiedRequired for installation of rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems in the Town of Morrison. No dedicated solar/photovoltaic line item appears in Resolution 2025-13's Single Stop Fees list (unlike furnace, AC, re-roof, or fence) — a PV installation is billed under the Town's general valuation-based Building Permit Fee for the structural/racking scope, plus the Town's own electrical permit process (with contemporaneous Colorado state-license review) for the interconnection scope, since Morrison issues both building and electrical permits itself rather than deferring to the state.
