Fee schedule
Building Permit Fee (valuation-based, same schedule as general building permit — no standalone plumbing fee line published)No separate plumbing-specific fee table was found on the Town's current Building Permit Fees handout; plumbing work is billed under the general Sec. 18-19(a) valuation schedule. Re-chased 2026-07-23 against the Town's current 2026 Fee Schedule (effective 1/1/2026, DocumentCenter View/6464 — the actual town-council-resolution-adopted fee document; Municipal Code Sec. 18-19(a)/(b), confirmed directly on Municode, delegates fee-setting to 'resolution of the town council' rather than codifying dollar figures in ordinance text): no standalone plumbing fee line exists there either. The Town's live Permits & Licenses page also lists plumbing-adjacent 'One-Stop (Sewer/Water Repairs, Water Heaters, Re-roofs)' work with fee marked 'Variable' rather than a flat plumbing rate, directly confirming plumbing work is billed under the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee, not an unpublished separate schedule.
$35.00 minimum, scaling per the valuation tiers in the Building Permit Fees schedule
One Stop Permit — Sanitary Sewer/Water RepairNEW 2026-07-23 finding: the Town's live Building Permits & Inspections page now explicitly lists 'Sanitary sewer and water repairs' among its named Over-the-Counter Permits, and the Permits & Licenses page groups it under 'One-Stop (Sewer/Water Repairs, Water Heaters, Re-roofs).' This confirms 2-day OTC issuance specifically for plumbing repair scope (sewer/water line repairs), distinct from new plumbing installs/alterations which remain on the standard track.
Variable (billed under the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee; no flat dollar figure published for this category, unlike Hot Water Heater Replacement/Reroof)

Tips
- Unlike electrical permits, Hudson does not publish a standalone plumbing fee schedule — plumbing work is billed under the same general valuation-based Building Permit Fee used for building/mechanical work, confirmed against both the 2024 handout and the current 2026 Fee Schedule.
- Confirm your plumbing contractor's Colorado state license is current; the Town verifies licensing status at permit acceptance, consistent with statewide contemporaneous-review requirements.
- Sanitary sewer and water line repairs are treated as an Over-the-Counter/One-Stop item (2-day issuance) per the Town's live Building Permits page, distinct from new plumbing installs/alterations bundled into a larger construction permit, which follow the standard 1-2 week review track.

Hudson, Colorado has adopted: 2018 International Building Code (IBC), as codified and amended per Hudson Municipal Code Chapter 18, Article I, Sec. 18-2 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force per the live Municode-codified chapter; 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), Sec. 18-6 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC), Sec. 18-10 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), Sec. 18-20 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC), Sec. 18-24 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), Sec. 18-28 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force per the live-codified chapter, though the Town's own DRAFT 2024 amendments propose replacing this with the 2024 IECC (status: not yet adopted as of this review); 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), Sec. 18-32 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), Sec. 18-36 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), Sec. 18-40 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; National Electrical Code: no locally adopted NEC edition found in Chapter 18; IPMC Section 604.2 as amended defers to 'the Electrical Code adopted by the State of Colorado' rather than naming a specific NEC edition — electrical work in Hudson is administered under the Colorado State Electrical Board framework (see localAmendments); IMPORTANT STATUS NOTE — code edition transition in progress but NOT yet finalized: the Town's live Building Permits & Inspections page (hudsonco.gov/166/Building-Permits-Inspections) states the Town 'will adopt the 2024 ICC codes beginning June 2026, including Solar and EV-ready provisions,' and the Town has posted a document titled 'DRAFT 2024 Building Code Amendments' (DocumentCenter View/6523) proposing 2024 editions of IBC/IRC/IMC/IFGC/IPC/IECC(2024)/IPMC/IEBC/ISPSC plus a new Colorado Model Electric and Solar Ready Code, 2023 Edition (Title 31, Article 16, Part 2, C.R.S.) as Sec. 18-43. However, that document is watermarked 'DRAFT' throughout (dated 4/02/2026) and the live, currently-codified Municode text of Chapter 18 (confirmed via search-engine cache of library.municode.com/co/hudson, page directly 403'd to automated fetch) still shows the 2018/2012 editions listed above as being in force via Ord. No. 19-13. Per this project's zero-tolerance policy, the 2024 suite is NOT recorded as adopted until a signed ordinance/Municode update is confirmed; codesAdopted above reflects the current in-force 2018/2012 baseline, with this note flagging the pending transition for the next verification pass.; Separately, the Hudson Fire Protection District (HFPD) — an independent special district, not a Town department — has its own fire-code adoption process. The Town's live Building page states 'The Hudson Fire Protection District Board has adopted the 2024 IFC amendments, with draft documents available for review,' and a scanned board resolution (DocumentCenter View/6549, '2024-IFC-Adoption-Board-Resolution', a Konica Minolta scan dated April 2026) is posted. The underlying scanned PDF could not be OCR'd/text-extracted directly during this research pass (image-only scan, no embedded text layer) and the HFPD's own website (hfpdco.org) does not independently confirm a specific in-force IFC edition on the pages checked. Treated as partial confidence: an HFPD board resolution exists and the Town references it as adopted, but the specific currently-effective IFC edition enforced Town-wide could not be independently corroborated beyond the Town's own page summary.. Local amendments apply — see the Hudson overview page for the full list.
