Permit types & fees
Building Permit (New Construction, Addition, Alteration, Roof/Siding, Foundation, Relocation)
VerifiedThe Town of Sedgwick's single, unified Application for Building Permit covers new construction (single-family, multi-family, garage, carport, and non-residential structures), additions, alterations (adding/moving walls), roof and siding repair/replacement, building relocation, foundation work, and new fences. Reviewed and approved or denied by the Town's Zoning Administrator. Electrical and plumbing work items on the same form are explicitly routed to the State ('State Permit Required') rather than reviewed under a town-adopted trade code, since the Town has not adopted the IBC/IRC or any other model building code (Sedgwick Town Code Chapter 152, 'Building Code,' is explicitly Reserved).

Requirements
- Completed Application for Building Permit form (Sections A/B as applicable, Section C Identification)
- For New Building (Section B): must state whether the parcel is in a flood zone (100-year or 500-year) and affirm a good-faith belief the proposed construction is reasonably safe from floods, per the Town's Flood Damage Prevention ordinance (Chapter 150)
- A drawing/site plan showing the location of all proposed improvements or buildings, property lines, and approximate water and sewer line locations must be attached
- Compliance with the Town's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance for setbacks, height, and lot coverage percentage (Sedgwick Town Code § 153.01, zoning ordinance adopted by reference)
- Contractors must attach or email proof of insurance to the Town (sedgwickco@pctelcom.coop) before the permit will be issued
- General Contractor, Plumber, Engineer, and Electrician (as applicable) must be identified by name, mailing address, and phone, with licensed/insured status disclosed on the form
- State permits are required separately for electrical and plumbing work; the Town's own form does not review or inspect these trades under a town-adopted code
- All State Permits and the Town's Local Building Permit must be physically posted on the property before starting the project
- Applicant and Contractor signatures required on the form
Required documents

Building Relocation / Demolition-Adjacent Work
The Town of Sedgwick does not publish a standalone demolition permit or fee schedule. The closest analog on the Town's unified Application for Building Permit is the 'Relocation of Building' checkbox item, covered under the same general $60 flat fee and Zoning Administrator review as all other work types on the form. No separate demolition-specific requirements, fee, or process were found after chasing the Town's website, the downloadable Building Permit form, and the full Code of Ordinances.

Requirements
- Use the same Application for Building Permit form, checking 'Relocation of Building' under Section A: Type of Improvement or Construction
- Site plan/drawing showing property lines and location of the structure being relocated or removed
- Contractor proof of insurance if a contractor is performing the work
Required documents
- RequiredApplication for Building PermitSame unified Town form used for all construction/alteration/relocation work; 'Relocation of Building' is a checkbox under Section A
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |

| Application Fee | $30.00 | Same flat fee structure as the general Building Permit; no separate demolition fee is published |
| Permit Fee | $30.00 | Same flat fee structure as the general Building Permit |
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Permit
VerifiedRequired for installing a rooftop or ground-mount photovoltaic system within the Town of Sedgwick. There is no dedicated 'Solar' checkbox on the Town's own Application for Building Permit — the closest matching category on the form is 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required),' confirming that electrical work, including solar PV, is NOT reviewed under a town-adopted code (Sedgwick Town Code Chapter 152, 'Building Code,' is explicitly Reserved) but is instead routed to the State of Colorado. Two fees therefore apply: the Town's flat $60.00 Building Permit fee, and a separate State Electrical Permit fee (issued through the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations/State Electrical Board), which is hard-capped by Colorado law regardless of system size.

Requirements
- Submit the Town's Application for Building Permit, checking 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required)' (no dedicated solar checkbox exists on the form)
- A separate State of Colorado Electrical Permit is required for the PV system's electrical installation, obtained from the State Electrical Board (Division of Professions and Occupations, DORA) since the Town has not adopted a local electrical inspection program
- A site plan/drawing showing the location of the proposed installation, property lines, and approximate water/sewer line locations must be attached to the Town application
- Contractors must submit proof of insurance to the Town (sedgwickco@pctelcom.coop) before the Town permit will be issued; not required for owner-performed work
- Colorado's homeowner exemption allows a property owner to personally perform the electrical/solar work if the property is not for sale, resale, or rent and is not generally open to the public
- Both the State Electrical Permit and the Town's Local Building Permit must be physically posted on the property before starting work
Required documents

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Town of Sedgwick Building Permit (Application + Permit fee) | $60.00 total flat fee ($30.00 Application + $30.00 Permit) | Same flat fee used for all project types on the Town's Application for Building Permit form; not valuation-based. Source: Town of Sedgwick Application for Building Permit. |
| State of Colorado Electrical Permit — Solar/PV (valuation-based, per Table 1-E Section B structure used statewide under C.R.S. § 12-23-117) | Base fee plus a per-$1,000-of-job-valuation rate (e.g., Larimer County's copy of the statewide Table 1-E: $120 base + $9.60 per $1,000 of valuation for solar/PV, filed under 'Commercial and other fees'); the exact base/per-thousand rate is set by the issuing authority within a state-permitted band and was not independently retrieved from a DORA-hosted copy of the schedule this session | HARD CAPPED regardless of calculated valuation: $500.00 for residential installations and $1,000.00 for commercial installations, per Colorado state law (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113, enacted by HB21-1284). This cap applies uniformly statewide, including to State Electrical Board-issued permits. |
EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedRequired for installing an electric vehicle charging station (Level 2 or DC fast charger) within the Town of Sedgwick. As with solar (see solar-pv-permit entry), there is no dedicated 'EV Charger' checkbox on the Town's own Application for Building Permit — the closest matching category is 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required),' confirming electrical work of any kind is NOT reviewed under a town-adopted code (Sedgwick Town Code Chapter 152, 'Building Code,' is explicitly Reserved) but is instead routed to the State of Colorado. Two fees therefore apply: the Town's flat $60.00 Building Permit fee, and a separate State Electrical Permit fee (issued through the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations/State Electrical Board) — but unlike solar, an EV charger installation is NOT subject to Colorado's HB21-1284 solar-fee cap, so the state electrical fee is calculated under the ordinary statewide Table 1-E valuation-based schedule with no dollar cap.

Requirements
- Submit the Town's Application for Building Permit, checking 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required)' (no dedicated EV-charger checkbox exists on the form)
- A separate State of Colorado Electrical Permit is required for the EV charger's dedicated circuit and any panel work, obtained from the State Electrical Board (Division of Professions and Occupations, DORA) since the Town has not adopted a local electrical inspection program
- A site plan/drawing showing the location of the proposed installation must be attached to the Town application
- Contractors must submit proof of insurance to the Town (sedgwickco@pctelcom.coop) before the Town permit will be issued; not required for owner-performed work under Colorado's homeowner exemption (property not for sale, resale, rent, or generally open to the public)
- Both the State Electrical Permit and the Town's Local Building Permit must be physically posted on the property before starting work
- Colorado's HB24-1173 (EV Charging System Permits, C.R.S. § 31-23-316) requires counties with population over 20,000 and municipalities with population over 10,000 to adopt a streamlined EV-charger permitting process by December 31, 2025 — the Town of Sedgwick (population under 200) is far below this threshold and has no obligation under that law
- Unlike solar, Colorado's HB21-1284 solar-fee cap (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113, $500 residential/$1,000 commercial) does NOT apply to EV charger installations — an EV charger's State Electrical Permit fee is calculated under the ordinary statewide Table 1-E valuation-based electrical fee schedule with no equivalent dollar cap

| State of Colorado Electrical Permit — general/valuation-based (Table 1-E structure used statewide under C.R.S. § 12-23-117) | Base fee plus a per-$1,000-of-job-valuation rate (e.g., Larimer County's copy of the statewide Table 1-E schedule); the exact base/per-thousand rate is set by the issuing authority within a state-permitted band and was not independently retrieved from a DORA-hosted copy of the schedule this session | NOT subject to the solar-specific $500/$1,000 cap under HB21-1284 (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113) — that cap applies specifically to solar energy device installations, not EV chargers. No EV-charger-specific fee cap or dedicated fee line was found in Colorado statute or the Table 1-E schedule. |
