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).

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 + $30 permit) is a flat fee for essentially all project types on the form, not a valuation-based schedule like larger Colorado jurisdictions in this corpus use.
- 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.
