Tips

  • Solar installations in Victor require a fuller plan package (engineering, drawing, and electrical plans) than most other exterior remodel scopes on the Quick Guide — budget for a complete plan set rather than a simplified submittal.
  • The Fee & Fine Schedule does not name a solar-specific fee line; the electrical interconnection is billed under the general Nonresidential/Alteration Electric Permit valuation schedule.

Office hours: Monday - Thursday: 8am to 5pm, Friday: 8am to Noon. The City contracts with Shums Coda Associates (ShumsCoda) as its Building Official for plan review and inspections; general/code-interpretation questions are directed to the Building Department main line above.. Official information: https://www.cityofvictor.com/building-department.

Victor, Colorado has adopted: 2012 International Building Code (IBC) — City of Victor Design Criteria document (Building Department page, 'Adopted Codes' section); 2012 International Residential Code (IRC); 2012 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2012 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2012 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC); Local amendments to the above codes are adopted by Ordinance No. 485. The Design Criteria document's direct link to the Ordinance No. 485 PDF (on the City's legacy cityofvictor.com/downloads path) no longer resolves, so the ordinance's full text is not retrievable from that link — the amendment's existence and code-cycle citation come from the current Design Criteria document itself, a live, actively-published Building Department resource. Request the full text of Ordinance No. 485 from the City if you need its specific amendments.; Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code: Ordinance No. 526 (adopted 3/19/2026) amends Chapter 18 of the Victor Municipal Code by adding a new Article 12 adopting the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code with local amendments — confirmed via the Municode Library's 'Adopted Ordinances Not Yet Codified' index for Victor, CO (ordinance not yet folded into the codified Chapter 18 text, which remains current only through Ordinance No. 511/2019 in the online codified view). This aligns with SB23-166's statewide Wildfire Resiliency Code Board mandate requiring local governments in the Wildland-Urban Interface to adopt minimum wildfire-resiliency structure-hardening and defensible-space standards by April 1, 2026.; The Design Criteria document (undated on-page, but the only live current-codes statement the Building Department publishes) is treated as the governing adopted-code list; Victor's own document names the 2012 I-Codes and 2014 NEC specifically — not the 2024 code cycle used by some other Colorado jurisdictions (e.g. Vail) — and no newer supersession appears on the Building Department, Building Permits, Ordinances and Resolutions, or Forms pages.. Local amendments apply — see the Victor overview page for the full list.

Yes. The Permit Requirement Quick Guide lists a permit, application, engineering plans, drawing plans, and electrical plans for Solar Panel installations — a fuller package than most other exterior remodel categories.
