Tips

  • Firestone's residential electrical fee is area-based (tied to enclosed square footage), not valuation-based like the general Building Permit Fee Table — don't apply the valuation table to standalone electrical work.
  • Electrical fees adjust annually to the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood CPI under Colorado HB 19-1035 — confirm the current-year dollar figures with the Town before quoting a fee from a prior year's schedule.
  • Solar-related electrical work has its own fee cap ($500 residential / $1,000 commercial) distinct from the general residential electrical area-based table — see the solar-pv-permit entry.
