Fee schedule

Mechanical Permit Fee
No numeric fee table is published on any City or SAFEbuilt page. Show full citationNo numeric fee table is published on any City or SAFEbuilt page. The City's Finance Department and City Clerk pages and the City's 2026 Budget page (a docaccess.com-embedded viewer with no apparent fee-schedule PDF) carry none; Municode Chapter 4 (Revenue and Finance) codifies only sales/use, gaming-device, lodging, and marijuana tax articles, with no building fee schedule; Municode's MuniDocs library holds only the Development Code, Master Plan, and Subdivision Regulations; and Municode's Ordinances-by-year list shows only Ordinances 2021-01 through 2021-21 for 2021, confirming Resolution 2021-21 is an uncodified administrative resolution Municode does not carry. cripplecreek.govbuilt.com resolves to GovBuilt's generic marketing site, not a jurisdiction-specific page, and app.communitycore.com/app/cripple-creek-co/fees is a login-gated application with no publicly visible data. The City's former domain (cripplecreekgov.com) is no longer City-controlled and now hosts unrelated content; its archived pages 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. The fee is not recoverable 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.
