When you need this permit

  • Governed by the 2015 IPC as adopted by the Town of Morrison
  • Issued under the Town's general Building Permit Application; the Residential Plans Submittal Check List requires Plumbing Details (2 sets) showing all plumbing fixture and water heater locations and all floor drain locations
  • Contractors performing plumbing work must hold current Colorado State Plumbing Board (DORA) licensure. 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.

Tips

  • Plumbing permits in Morrison are issued under the same general Building Permit Application as building/mechanical/electrical work, not a standalone plumbing-specific form, for new construction and additions.
  • Morrison's plumbing-license verification follows the same 'Procedure for Contemporaneous Reviews of Electrical and Plumbing Licenses' as electrical work — inspectors may conduct full or partial license reviews of plumbers/apprentices on site, with a focus on large commercial and multi-family projects; non-compliance is reportable to the Colorado State Plumbing Board.
