Re-chased 2026-07-23 (new avenues beyond the prior chase): checked City Finance Department and City Clerk pages, the City's 2026 Budget page (uses a docaccess.com-embedded viewer, no fee-schedule PDF apparent), Municode Chapter 4 (Revenue and Finance -- codifies only sales/use, gaming-device, lodging, and marijuana tax articles, no building fee schedule), Municode's MuniDocs library (Development Code, Master Plan, Subdivision Regulations only), and Municode's Ordinances-by-year list (2021 shows only Ordinances 2021-01 through 2021-21, confirming Resolution 2021-21 is an uncodified administrative resolution Municode does not carry); also re-checked cripplecreek.govbuilt.com (resolves to GovBuilt's generic marketing site, not a jurisdiction-specific page) and app.communitycore.com/app/cripple-creek-co/fees (login-gated SPA shell, no visible data); Wayback Machine snapshots of the City's former domain (cripplecreekgov.com, now squatted with unrelated spam content) surface only 2009-2016-era permit application forms with a blank valuation-based fee field and an unrelated 2012 water/sewer tap fee table, both too stale and out-of-scope to use. Gap confirmed to remain unrecoverable online; contact the Building Department directly (719-689-3588 ext. 1).

Tips

  • Cripple Creek's IFGC adoption is the 2015 edition — older than its other 2018-cycle codes — confirm gas-fired appliance/venting requirements against the 2015 IFGC specifically rather than assuming the newer 2018 cycle applies uniformly across trades.
