Building Permit (New Construction, Addition, Alteration, Roof/Siding, Foundation, Relocation) in Sedgwick, Colorado
The 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).

When you need this permit
- 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)
- Form header requires a 'Zoned: Residential / Commercial / Other' declaration, and Section B's New Building category list includes commercial use types (Retail, Office/Offices, Manufacturing) alongside residential ones — commercial construction uses this same form, not a separate commercial permit
- For non-residential (commercial) New Building projects, Section B's 'Non-Residential Only' subsection additionally requires # of Parking Spaces, Person Capacity, Sprinkler System (yes/no), and # of Emergency Exits
- 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 Contractor
- 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

Tips
- Sedgwick has NOT adopted the IBC, IRC, or any modern model building code — Chapter 152 ('Building Code') of the Town Code is explicitly Reserved. Do not assume ICC-code-based plan review; the Town's own process is a zoning/insurance/flood-zone check by the Zoning Administrator, not a technical code-compliance plan review.
- Electrical and plumbing work require separate State permits — the Town's own Building Permit form explicitly flags these trades '(State Permit Required)' rather than reviewing them itself.
- The $60 total fee — $30 application plus $30 permit — is a flat charge for essentially all project types on the form, not a valuation-based schedule, so project size does not change what you pay.
- Contractor insurance must be submitted before the permit is issued — budget time to gather proof of insurance from your General Contractor, Plumber, Engineer, or Electrician before submitting. Contractor
- There is no online portal — forms must be downloaded, filled out, and emailed to sedgwickinfo@pctelcom.coop, or dropped off in person at Town Hall (29 Main Avenue), open Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
- There is no distinct commercial-building-permit or tenant-improvement permit: this same form and $60 flat fee is what a Retail, Office, or Manufacturing 'New Building' project uses (Section B expressly lists those categories), and it is also what an interior alteration to an existing commercial building (a TI in substance) uses via the Section A 'Alteration (Add/Move walls)' checkbox. The Town's Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Book.PDF, Section 7 'Building Permits') likewise defines the permit generically for 'any building...erected, moved, or structurally altered,' with no commercial-specific fee tier or approval track. Sedgwick does have real, codified commercial zoning districts (Commercial 1/C1 and Commercial Zoning Highway Business/C2) — it is specifically the permit process, not commercial land use itself, that is unified with residential.
