VerifiedRequired for rooftop solar PV installations in Haxtun. Electrical connection work is subject to the State of Colorado electrical inspection process described under the Electrical Permit type; the installation itself is governed by the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code (HMC § 150.09, adopted June 1, 2023 edition, via Ord. 2025-1) plus the 2023 NEC (HMC § 150.11).

Demolition Permit
Demolition of a dangerous or existing building in Haxtun is addressed through the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings (1991 Edition, HMC § 150.06) for unsafe structures, and through the general Application for Building Permit process for a voluntary/planned demolition.

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedHaxtun has no dedicated EV charger or EVSE permit and no distinct fee line item for electric vehicle charging equipment. An EV charger installation is billed under the Town's general valuation-based Application for Building Permit (the same combined form and fee table used for all building-related work, including the rooftop solar PV permit's structural scope), and the electrical/circuit work must be inspected by a State of Colorado electrical inspector rather than the Town, exactly as with any other new electrical installation. Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits, 2024) requires expedited EV-charger permitting only for counties with 20,000+ population and municipalities with 10,000+ population -- Haxtun (population under 1,000) falls well below that threshold and is not a covered municipality under the statute.

Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedCommercial/business construction in Haxtun is fully permitted — the Town adopted the 2018 International Building Code, Chapters 1-35 plus Appendices C, E, H, I & J, as its Building Code (HMC § 150.01, Ord. 2025-1, passed 10-6-2025; confirmed live in the 2026 S-1 code supplement) — but there is NO separate commercial permit process, application, or fee schedule. Commercial projects use the exact same single-page 'Application for Building Permit' form, the same flat valuation-based fee table, and the same 3-working-day processing commitment as residential work. Tenant improvements/commercial alterations likewise have no distinct permit type: they are filed under Section 2 (Alteration or Addition to Existing Property) of the same form, reviewed under the 2018 IBC and the 2018 International Existing Building Code (HMC § 150.07). This undifferentiated single-track process is a confirmed fact from the Town's own live form and code, not a documentation gap.

In Colorado, a final Certificate of Occupancy is generally contingent on satisfying all local departments with applicable jurisdiction (which may include Fire, in addition to Building). A use/occupancy change is presumed to be processed through the Town's general Building Permit Application; contact the Building Department to confirm requirements and applicable code edition for a specific project.
