Building Relocation / Demolition-Adjacent Work in Sedgwick, Colorado

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.

Tips

  • There is no standalone 'demolition permit' in Sedgwick — 'Relocation of Building' on the general Application for Building Permit is the closest documented analog, and it is unclear from the Town's published materials whether straightforward demolition without relocation is separately required to use this same form or is unregulated; when in doubt, contact the Town Clerk directly (970-463-8814) before beginning demolition work.

Sedgwick, Colorado has adopted: NONE — the Town of Sedgwick has NOT adopted the IBC, IRC, or any other model building code edition by ordinance. Chapter 152 of the Sedgwick Town Code, titled 'BUILDING CODE,' is explicitly marked '[Reserved]' in the currently codified Code of Ordinances (2023 S-1 supplement, current through Ordinance 01-2023 passed 3-13-2023) — confirmed by direct extraction of the Code Book PDF (American Legal Publishing, hosted at sedgwickcolorado.com/_files/ugd/4d4221_87d4af0c271c403eace6f27595d559ee.pdf).; Chapter 151 (Building Regulations) is NOT a model code adoption — it is an unmodernized 1919-era fire-limits ordinance (Ord. 19, passed 6-2-1919) still on the books, governing construction materials (masonry/incombustible-material requirements) only within a narrowly described historical 'fire limits' district of downtown Sedgwick; it sets wall-thickness and combustible-material rules but does not incorporate or reference the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/NEC or any edition year for general residential/commercial construction.; The only references to an International Code family found anywhere in the Sedgwick Town Code are narrow, use-specific citations to the 2012 International Fire Code (IFC) and 2012 International Building Code (IBC) inside Chapter 112 (Marijuana Regulations) — Sec. 112.070-112.072, governing exiting/security/fire-extinguisher standards specifically for marijuana cultivation, product-manufacturing, and testing facilities (Ord. 04-2019, passed 5-14-2019). This is not a general building-code adoption applicable to ordinary residential or commercial construction and is not modeled as a codesAdopted entry for permit types in this file.; Electrical and plumbing work is explicitly NOT locally coded or inspected by the Town — the Town's own Application for Building Permit form flags 'New/Replace Electrical' and 'New/Replace Plumbing' work items with the parenthetical '(State Permit Required)', and Section C of the form asks whether a State permit will be required for the Electrician/Plumber/Engineer named on the application, confirming those trades are governed by Colorado state licensing/permitting (e.g., State Electrical Board), not a town-adopted trade code.; Chapter 150 (Flood Damage Prevention, Ord. 01-2017 passed 4-10-2017, last amended by Ord. 01-2023) is the Town's most substantive adopted land-use/construction regulation: it requires a Floodplain Development Permit for any development in the Special Flood Hazard Area, administered by the Zoning Administrator acting as Floodplain Administrator, and sets standards for elevation/flood-proofing of structures (lowest floor at least 2 feet above base flood elevation) — this operates alongside, not instead of, the general Building Permit.. Local amendments apply — see the Sedgwick overview page for the full list.

Not as a standalone, named permit type. The Town's general Application for Building Permit includes a 'Relocation of Building' checkbox under the same $60 flat-fee, Zoning-Administrator-reviewed process as all other covered work types; no separate demolition-specific fee, form, or process is published by the Town.
