Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit
VerifiedThe City of Victor has no distinct EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line. An EV charging station installation is permitted as ordinary electrical work through the City's own local Electrical Permit program (Victor runs its own electrical permitting/inspection via its contracted Building Official, ShumsCoda, rather than deferring to the Colorado State Electrical Board), billed under the 'Nonresidential Buildings and Residential Alteration or Addition' Electric Permit fee table -- the same valuation-based schedule the city's own fee schedule uses for the electrical-interconnection portion of its solar permit, since the Fee & Fine Schedule does not name EV chargers as their own line item. Governed by the 2014 NEC as locally adopted, which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) provisions. Victor's population (roughly 400) is far below the 10,000-person threshold that triggers 'covered municipality' status under Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act, effective 8/7/2024), so that statute's mandatory model-code/objective-standards adoption and 3-business-day decision-notification requirement do not apply here.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- No standalone EV charger/EVSE permit application exists; apply for the City's standard Electrical Permit (Building Permit Application, Electrical scope), submitted in person at Victor City Hall
- City Building Inspectors perform contemporaneous, on-site license verification of electrical workers per City policy, the same requirement applied to all other electrical work
- Fee billed under the 'Nonresidential Buildings and Residential Alteration or Addition' Electric Permit fee table (valuation-based), the same category the city's fee schedule uses for the electrical portion of solar installations, since EV chargers are not enclosed-living-area new-construction wiring
- Governed by the 2014 NEC as adopted by the City of Victor, which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) requirements for EVSE branch circuits and disconnects
- Victor's population is far below the 10,000-person threshold for 'covered municipality' status under Colorado HB24-1173, so the Act's mandatory EV-permitting-standards adoption and 3-business-day decision timeline do not apply as a legal requirement here

Commercial Building Permit (New Construction & Addition)
Required for new commercial building construction and additions to existing commercial buildings within Victor city limits. The City's Permit Requirement Quick Guide lists a distinct 'COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION' category (separate from New Residential Construction and Residential Remodel) with 'New' and 'Addition' rows requiring the fullest document package of any category in the Guide -- notably more than any residential row. Governed by the 2012 IBC as locally adopted (with amendments per Ordinance No. 485), the City's Design Criteria commercial wind-speed table (2012 IBC Table 1604.5, by risk category), and COMcheck/Performance energy compliance rather than the residential Manual J/prescriptive path. Plan review and inspections are performed by the City's contracted Building Official, Shums Coda Associates.
Reviewed 2026-08-02 · Source
Requirements
- Building Permit Application and required plans submitted in person at Victor City Hall along with permit fees -- there is no separate commercial-only application form; the same Building Permit Application used for residential projects is used for commercial
- Per the Permit Requirement Quick Guide's COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION > New row, new commercial construction requires: Permit, Application/Fee, Engineered Plans (2 sets + electronic), Drawings (2 sets + electronic), Boundary Survey, Soils Test (wet-stamped), Water and Sanitation Availability confirmation, Foundation Plans, Structural Plans (wet-stamped), Engineered Truss Drawings (if trusses used), Plot/Site Plan with setbacks, COMcheck/Performance energy compliance, and Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical plans -- more marked requirement columns than any other category (residential or commercial) in the Guide
- The Addition row lists a very similar but slightly reduced package relative to New commercial construction (the Quick Guide's flattened table format does not preserve unambiguous column-by-column alignment for this row, so the exact 1-2 omitted items cannot be stated with certainty from this source alone) -- most plausibly a new Boundary Survey and/or Water and Sanitation Availability confirmation are not required for additions since those would already be established from the original building's construction, consistent with how the Guide treats residential additions
- Commercial buildings must be designed to the City's wind speed by risk category per 2012 IBC Table 1604.5: 105 mph (Risk Category I), 115 mph (Risk Category II), 120 mph (Risk Category III), 120 mph (Risk Category IV); Exposure C assumed unless Exposure B is proven for the location
- Additions must use the same foundation type as the existing structure, or provide stamped/signed engineering for a different foundation type
- A soils test report from a qualified Geotechnical Engineer is required for new buildings per IBC 1803.1, and foundation plans must use that report's design
- Foundations must rest at or below the 36-inch frost depth per the City's Design Criteria, unless a code-approved exception applies

Commercial Tenant Finish / Remodel (Tenant Improvement) Permit
Required for tenant finish and remodel work within existing commercial spaces in Victor. The Permit Requirement Quick Guide lists 'Tenant Finish/Remodel' as its own row under COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, distinctly lighter than New commercial construction or Additions: Engineered Plans are required UNLESS the space is under an occupant load of 10 (footnote 'i'), and no Boundary Survey or Soils Test line is marked for this category -- consistent with it being interior work to an already-permitted structure rather than new construction. Billed under the same combined valuation-based Building Permit Fee as new commercial construction; electrical work bills under the Nonresidential Electric Permit valuation table.

Sign Permit
VerifiedSign placement in Victor is regulated by the City's Land Development Code, Chapter 16, Article 17 (Signs, §§ 16-17-10 through 16-17-60), which sets the purpose, definitions, allowed sign types (awning/canopy, banners, flags, wall, projecting, neon, window, sandwich board, yard signs), standards applicable to all signs, exemptions, and prohibited signs (rooftop and off-premises signs, freestanding signs in the Commercial Zone District, flashing/animated signs, and others). Article 17 itself does not describe a standalone 'sign permit' application or fee -- most conforming sign types are governed directly by these placement/size/illumination standards rather than gated behind a City review step. Two explicit exceptions exist: (1) Murals require City Council approval following application and review under § 16-17-30(E); and (2) per § 16-17-40(G), 'Signs shall meet all applicable standards of the adopted building and electric codes,' meaning a sign involving structural attachment or electrical connection still requires the City's ordinary Chapter 18 Building/Electrical Permit for that portion of the work. Any other City review of a sign (e.g., a variance from Article 17's standards under Article 11) is billed under the Land Development Code's general Zoning Application Fee.

Requirements
- Most sign types (awning/canopy, permanent banners, flags, wall signs, projecting signs in the Commercial Zone District, illuminated signs, window signs, sandwich boards, yard signs) are governed directly by the placement, size, and illumination standards in Land Development Code §§ 16-17-30 and 16-17-40 -- Article 17 does not describe a separate sign-permit application step for compliant signs of these types
- Murals require approval of the City Council, following application and review, and must maintain an historic theme and be professionally painted, per § 16-17-30(E)
- Signs must meet all applicable standards of the City's adopted building and electric codes (2012 IBC, 2014 NEC, Chapter 18), per § 16-17-40(G) -- a sign requiring structural attachment or electrical connection needs the ordinary Chapter 18 Building/Electrical Permit for that portion of the work
- Prohibited outright in all districts, per § 16-17-60: rooftop signage, off-premises signs, freestanding signs in the Commercial Zone District, flashing/animated/message-board signs, signs projecting above a roof peak or awning/canopy top, signs causing direct glare, signs emitting sound/odor/visible matter, signs obstructing egress, and several other categories
- Certain signs are exempt from Article 17 entirely: traffic/directional/wayfinding/warning/emergency/informational signs authorized by a public agency (including construction signs), and historic words/symbols/ghost signs, per § 16-17-50
- The City may require removal of a sign located in a sight/vision triangle it determines to be a traffic hazard, or within 14 days after the advertised activity/business/use has ceased, per § 16-17-40(C)-(D)
- If a sign proposal requires City review beyond the standards themselves (e.g., a variance from Article 17 under Land Development Code Article 11), the general Zoning Application Fee and process (Article 10) applies: application for zoning review on a City-provided form, a pre-application conference within 15 days of submittal, completeness determination within 15 days, and a hearing scheduled within 45 days of the completeness determination
Required documents
- OptionalMural ApplicationRequired only for murals; reviewed and approved by City Council per § 16-17-30(E)
- OptionalBuilding Permit Application (Building/Electrical scope)Required only for the structural-attachment or electrical-connection portion of a sign, per § 16-17-40(G); submitted in person at Victor City Hall
- OptionalZoning Application (general form)Required only if City review of the sign is otherwise triggered (e.g., a variance from Article 17's sign standards)
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-specific Permit Fee | The City's Fee & Fine Schedule contains no distinct sign-permit fee line — its complete 'CODE CHAPTER 16-LAND USE/ZONING' fee section lists only a Zoning Application Fee ($100.00 if a hearing is required, $25.00 if not) and a Subdivision/Lot Line Removal fee. | |

| Building/Electrical Permit Fee (for the structural or electrical portion of a sign, if applicable) | Same combined valuation-based Building Permit Fee schedule ($23.50 minimum) or Electric Permit fee schedule documented under residential-building-permit and electrical-permit elsewhere in this file | Applies only if the sign's construction or electrical connection independently requires a Chapter 18 permit, per § 16-17-40(G) |
Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm System Permit
VerifiedFire protection in Victor is provided by the City's own Victor Volunteer Fire Department (est. 1894, 12-20 volunteers, Fire Chief appointed by City Council) -- a City department, not an independent special district. The City has adopted the 2012 International Fire Code (IFC), including Appendices B, C and F, as Chapter 18, Article 6 of its Municipal Code, with local amendments tightening automatic-sprinkler triggers for Group A-2 occupancies (fire area over 5,000 sq ft, occupant load of 300+, or located on a floor other than the level of exit discharge, per amended § 903.2.1.2) and requiring sprinklers throughout all Group R fire areas except Group R-3 and small Group R-1/R-2 buildings under 3 stories with fewer than 20 units (amended § 903.2.8). The Fire Department's own City webpage describes only its emergency-response mission and staffing, with no separate fire-permit application, plan-review, or fee process of its own -- consistent with fire sprinkler and fire alarm system installations being processed as ordinary Chapter 18 construction work through the Building Department (the same contracted Building Official, Shums Coda Associates, and the same combined, valuation-based Building Permit Fee used for other building/plumbing/mechanical work), since no distinct fire-alarm or fire-sprinkler fee line exists anywhere in the City's Fee & Fine Schedule.

- No separate Fire Department permit application, plan-review process, or fee schedule was found published -- the Victor Volunteer Fire Department's own City webpage describes its emergency-response mission and volunteer staffing only, with no fire-prevention/plan-review/permit content
- Fire sprinkler and fire alarm system work is processed as ordinary construction work through the Building Department, using the Building Permit Application submitted in person at Victor City Hall, per the City's standard permitting process (Chapter 18, Article 1, as locally amended)
- Plan review and inspections for this work are performed by the City's contracted Building Official, Shums Coda Associates, the same as for all other Chapter 18 permits in this file
- Construction may not commence until the permit is issued and posted on the property; permits become null and void if no inspection occurs within 365 days, per Chapter 18, Article 1 amendments (§ 105.5)
- Any person who commences fire suppression/alarm work before obtaining the necessary permit may be subject to an investigation fee equal to the permit fee, waivable only in limited emergency/notice-cure circumstances within 3 business days, per Chapter 18's amended § 109.4 and the Fee & Fine Schedule

Change of Use Permit
VerifiedThe City of Victor has no application or fee named a 'Change of Use Permit' -- the Chapter 16 Land Use/Zoning section of the Fee & Fine Schedule lists only a Zoning Application Fee (hearing/no-hearing tiers) and a Subdivision/Lot Line Removal fee. Instead, a change to a use that is listed as a conditional use (rather than a permitted use) in the applicable zone district is handled through the Land Development Code's Conditional Use process, Chapter 16, Article 11 (§ 16-11-40). Conditional uses are 'land uses that are generally compatible with the permitted uses in a zone district, but that require site-specific review of their location, design, intensity, density, configuration and/or operating characteristics.' Applications go to the City Administrator, require public notice (mailed, published, and posted) under § 16-10-40, and are decided by City Council at a public hearing that must occur within 45 days of the filing of a complete application, per § 16-11-40(2).
