Fee schedule

Demolition Permit FeeGAP: Summit County's live Building Permits page confirms a Demo Permit exists ('required for the removal of structures and safe disconnection of utility services') but the Building Permit Fee Schedule page does not list a distinct demolition fee tier separate from the general Building Permit Fee table; likely billed under the standard valuation-based Building Permit Fee schedule, but this was not explicitly confirmed in the source text and is not invented here
Not separately published on the Summit County Building Permit Fee Schedule as a distinct line item

Dillon, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) series with local amendments — Summit County Building Inspection Department completed adoption of the 2024 I-Code series; per the department's live announcement (checked 2026-07-06), all plans submitted on or after July 1, 2026 must comply with the 2024 I-Codes; 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) with local amendments — part of the same 2024 I-Code series adoption; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with amendments — replaces the former 'Summit County Sustainable Code' option for single-family homes; the Sustainable Code is no longer an energy-compliance pathway as of this adoption, per the department's own announcement; Appendix REMP (Renewable Energy Mitigation Program) — added with the 2024 code adoption, per Summit County Building Inspection Department announcement; Appendix BC (Accessory Dwelling Units for existing construction) — added with the 2024 code adoption, per Summit County Building Inspection Department announcement; Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code — any permit applied for on or after May 4, 2026 is subject to the newly adopted fire codes, including the updated sprinkler square-footage threshold; the full code is published by the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control (dfpc.colorado.gov/colorado-wildfire-resiliency-code); Sprinkler requirement: all new residential structures 4,500 sq ft or greater must have fire sprinkler systems installed, per the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code as adopted by Summit County; Town of Dillon Municipal Code, Chapter 18 — the Town has, 'in conjunction with Summit County... in general adopted the 2018 series of Building Codes with amendments' at the town-code level; however, the Summit County Building Inspection Department (which actually performs plan review/inspection for Dillon) has since moved forward to the 2024 I-Code series described above — this is a genuine, honestly-flagged discrepancy between the Dillon Municipal Code's own text (last referencing 2018) and the county department's current live practice (2024, effective July 1, 2026); applicants should confirm the currently-enforced edition directly with Summit County Building Inspection at time of submittal.
