Tips

  • Have your State Master Plumbing License and DORA registration ready at the jobsite — Frisco's contemporaneous review policy means an inspector can terminate an inspection on the spot and issue a correction notice if licensure can't be verified.
  • Bundling plumbing with a building permit under a single combined valuation uses a different (higher) fee table than a standalone plumbing permit — check the Comprehensive Fee Schedule's 'Building, Plumbing and Mechanical Combined' tiers versus standalone 'Plumbing Permit Fee' language before budgeting.

Frisco, Colorado has adopted: The Town of Frisco currently uses the 2018 International Code Council (ICC) code family — the Town of Frisco Building Permits & Plan Review page states verbatim: 'The Town of Frisco currently uses the 2018 International Code Council codes.' (International Building Code, International Residential Code, and related I-Codes; specific IECC/IMC/IPC/IFC edition years beyond the '2018 ICC family' are not individually broken out on the Town's public pages.) Local amendments live in Frisco Town Code Chapter 65, Building Construction and Housing Standards, hosted on Municode (library.municode.com/co/frisco); that library renders as a JavaScript application rather than plain text, so open it in an ordinary web browser to read the amendment text.; Summit Sustainable Building Code (SSBC) — adopted by Town Council Ordinance 20-04 on April 14, 2020, as an 'above-code' energy standard layered on top of the 2018 ICC base codes.
