| Electrical Fee | Set by the Colorado state-mandated electrical fee schedule per CRS 12-23-117, with Town surcharge of up to 15% above the state base rate permitted by statute | The Town's current (effective 2026-04-01) Master Fee Schedule (Res. No. 38-2025 / Ord. No. 01-2026) lists this line item as 'From State Electrical Fee Schedule' without a locally tabulated dollar figure. A Town-published 'Electrical Permit Fees' document shows the historical calculation method (Residential: banded by square footage; All Other: banded by installation valuation) but its dollar amounts are dated 'as of July 1, 2019' and are NOT current — omitted here rather than presented as today's rate. RE-CHASED 2026-07-23 with genuinely new avenues, still unrecoverable as a citable current figure: (1) dpo.colorado.gov (State Electrical Board) still returns a hard WAF 'Access denied' to both browser-header curl AND a live Browser-pane session; (2) the live (non-blocked) DPO 'Electrical and Plumbing Permits Homepage' (dpo.colorado.gov/EandP/Permits) confirms structurally why no static fee table is published: fees are generated dynamically inside a credit-card-gated online permit portal keyed to project-specific data, not published as a document — the DPO Permit and Inspection Forms page (checked live and via a Feb-14-2026 Wayback snapshot) lists only applications/guidelines, no fee schedule PDF; (3) that same DPO portal page confirms Larimer County itself has run its OWN local electrical inspection program since July 1, 2020 (the State Electrical Board does not inspect there), so a Wellington permit would never route through DPO's schedule directly in the first place; (4) Larimer County's own building-fees page (larimer.gov/building/fees), fetched live 2026-07-23, states '2026 Fee Schedule Coming Soon!' — even the county has not yet published a current table, and its closest Wayback snapshot (2025-03-07) is no fresher; (5) the Douglas County 'electrical-permit-app-2025.pdf' URL was re-checked on the theory its filename implied a 2025 refresh — the PDF itself is still internally dated 01/12/2023, not a new figure; (6) a City of Rifle, CO 'Effective August 2, 2024' electrical fee schedule was located but is Rifle's own home-rule locally-set valuation fee, not the CRS-anchored state schedule Wellington's ordinance references — not substitutable without misattributing a different jurisdiction's mechanism; (7) the current State Electrical Board rule text, 3 CCR 710-1 (fetched fresh via the Jan-28-2026 rule-revision version from sos.state.co.us), confirms fees are set by the Board under statute but does not embed a dollar table in the rule text itself. This is a confirmed structural non-publication (the current figure exists only inside DORA's interactive, credit-card-gated system), not a search shortfall. |

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit
VerifiedWellington has two distinct layers relevant to EV charging: (1) A standard residential or single-unit EVSE circuit installation is not a separate permit type -- it is billed and processed through the Town's existing Electrical Permit (state-anchored CRS § 12-115-121 fee schedule (renumbered from the commonly-cited § 12-23-117 effective 10/1/2019), plus up to a 15% Town surcharge), the same 'One Stop Permits -- No Plan Review' track used for other standalone electrical work, since Wellington defers to Colorado State Electrical Board licensing and has no dedicated EV-charger fee line. (2) For EV charging SYSTEM/site installations (e.g., commercial or multi-stall charging stations), Wellington's Board of Trustees adopted Ordinance No. 15-2025 (enacted November 12, 2025) amending the Town's Land Use Code to comply with Colorado HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act) -- Wellington's 2020 Census population of 11,144 places it above the Act's 10,000-person 'covered municipality' threshold. Per the Town's own Planning Commission materials (September 8, 2025 meeting), staff recommended and the Town adopted the legislation's minimum Land Use Code amendment option (rather than the Colorado Energy Office's full model code, or an opt-out), establishing an administrative review process for EV charging infrastructure installations under 8 stalls.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- For a standard residential/single-unit EV charger circuit: no standalone EV-specific permit exists; apply for the Town's standard Electrical Permit through the Community Core/Connect 'One Stop Permits' track, the same as any other standalone electrical work
- Contractors must hold a current Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) Master Electrician license, contemporaneously verified by SAFEbuilt at permit issuance per SB19-156, plus a Town of Wellington general Contractor License
- For an EV charging SYSTEM/site installation (commercial or multi-stall charging stations): subject to the administrative land-use review process established by Ordinance No. 15-2025 (enacted November 12, 2025), which amended the Town's Land Use Code to comply with Colorado HB24-1173 for installations under 8 stalls
- Wellington's 2020 Census population (11,144) exceeds the 10,000-person threshold making it a 'covered municipality' under HB24-1173, legally obligating the administrative-review/checklist and denial-appeal provisions the Act requires for covered jurisdictions that choose the custom-standards option
- Governed by the 2026 NEC as locally adopted (effective January 1, 2026), which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) provisions; the Town's own Building Department page separately notes 'improved energy efficiency and electrical readiness (solar, EV infrastructure)' as part of its 2024 I-Codes adoption

- RequiredElectrical Permit Application (or Electrical Service Charge / Electrical Only category)Standard electrical permit application for a residential/single-unit EVSE circuit; submitted via Community Core/Connect under the One Stop Permits track

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Fee (EV charger/EVSE circuit) | Colorado State Electrical Board schedule: $90 base fee for valuation up to $2,000, plus $8.00 per additional $1,000 of valuation (rounded up) -- per the Board's May 2019 published schedule (a 2024 legislative fiscal note, HB 24-1263, documents the base state inspection fee increasing from $88 to $92 effective FY2024-25, so the current figure may be modestly higher), with a Town surcharge of up to 15% above the state base rate permitted by CRS § 12-115-121 | Same fee mechanism used for the Town's general electrical-permit entry. Colorado Revised Statutes § 12-115-121 (renumbered from § 12-23-117 effective 10/1/2019). The Town's current Master Fee Schedule (effective 2026-04-01) lists the electrical line item as "From State Electrical Fee Schedule" without a locally tabulated amount -- re-chased 2026-07-20 and located the underlying State Electrical Board fee table (effective 5/15/2019, reproduced by the City of Sheridan, CO) to substantiate the actual dollar mechanism. |
