Fee schedule

Demolition of StructureTown of Frederick 2026 Fee Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), 'Building Permit Flat and/or Hourly Fees' table, page 8: 'Demolition of Structure — $200.00.' GAP CLOSED 2026-07-23: the prior chase's pdftotext -layout extraction column-shifted this two-column table, splitting the 'Demolition of Structure' row label from its adjacent '$200.00' value onto different text lines and making the figure appear missing. Re-chased by rendering the live Fee Schedule PDF (frederickco.gov/DocumentCenter/View/32684/2026-Fee-Schedule) page 8 to a 200dpi PNG and reading the table visually: the row reads 'Demolition of Structure | $200.00' directly beneath 'Residential Lawn Sprinkler Backflow device | $100.00' and above 'Foundation Only Permit Fee.'

Frederick, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Town of Frederick Building Codes page; 2024 International Residential Code (IRC); 2024 International Fire Code (IFC); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC); 2024 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC); 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC); 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code (as published by the State of Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control); Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code; All codes adopted with local amendments per Frederick Municipal Code, Chapter 18 (Buildings and Building Regulations) — Town of Frederick Building Codes page (frederickco.gov/141/Building-Codes); Note on code-cycle currency: the Town's own Residential/New Construction Building Permit Checklist (a submittal-requirements document, not the code-adoption page) still directs energy-code compliance via '2021 IECC Energy Code' (REScheck, energy rating report, or prescriptive HERS documentation), even though the live Building Codes page lists 2024 IECC as currently adopted — this is the same pattern seen in other Colorado jurisdictions in this corpus where a static submittal PDF lags the actively-maintained code-adoption webpage. The 2024 IBC/IRC/IECC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IEBC/ISPSC/IPMC + 2023 NEC list from the Building Codes page is treated as the current, governing adopted-code list for this file; confirm current code edition directly with the Building Department (720-382-5516) before finalizing a code analysis for any specific project, since the checklist PDF may not yet be updated to match the webpage.. Local amendments apply — see the Frederick overview page for the full list.
