Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee (valuation-based, general schedule)No standalone flat solar-PV fee is published; billed under the general valuation-based schedule. Re-confirmed 2026-07-20 by re-fetching the Town's live 'Application for Building Permit' PDF directly (full-text search for 'solar'/'photovoltaic' found no dedicated fee line) — the general valuation table is genuinely the current, applicable figure for a solar PV permit in Haxtun, not an unresolved gap. Also checked: Haxtun does not appear on SolarAPP+'s Colorado participant list (gosolarapp.org/landing-pages/solarapp-colorado — only Bennett, Wheat Ridge, Denver, Alamosa County, and Gilpin County offer full SolarAPP+ plan review as of this check), and Colorado's statewide solar-permit fee cap (C.R.S. 24-48.5-113, formerly cited elsewhere as 24-32-3312, which is actually an unrelated manufactured-housing statute) caps aggregate solar fees at $500 residential/$1,000 nonresidential — Haxtun's general valuation-based fee for a typical residential solar install falls well under that statutory ceiling, consistent with the town's own published table.
$10.00-$25.00 base, plus $5.00 per $1,000 above $2,500 valuation
Use Tax
4.5% of the valuation of all materials

Tips

  • Haxtun adopted the June 1, 2023 edition of the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code fresh via Ord. 2025-1 (10-6-2025) — this is current, not a stale adoption.
