Electrical Permit in Kersey, Colorado
Required for installation, alteration, or repair of electrical systems in Kersey. Governed by the 2020 NEC per the Town's Current Building Regulations page. Kersey defers electrical contractor licensing entirely to the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) and performs contemporaneous license verification per its own published guidelines, rather than running a local electrical licensing/registration program.

Fee schedule
Electrical FeeNo standalone electrical-only fee table was found; Colorado statute (CRS 12-23-117(3), the state-mandated electrical fee schedule used in peer Colorado jurisdictions such as Vail) may govern the base electrical fee, but Kersey's own published fee documents do not break this out or confirm a local surcharge percentage — marked partial for this reason. RE-CHASED 2026-07-23 (still open, new avenue tried): re-fetched both live fee PDFs (Development Fee Schedule and 2026 Fee Schedule) fresh — neither publishes a standalone electrical fee table. Cross-checked the actual statewide CRS 12-23-117 base-rate table (Larimer County Table 1-E, larimer.org/sites/default/files/2020_electrical_fee_table.pdf, the same statutory schedule already cited for this file's solar entry): under that table's residential-square-footage bracket, a 1,400 sq ft home (1,001-1,500 sq ft bracket) computes to a $168 base electrical fee — this does NOT reconcile with Kersey's own quoted $51.75 example figure, so it cannot be assumed Kersey's SAFEbuilt-calculated electrical fee simply follows the standard statewide CRS 12-23-117 valuation table either; the discrepancy is unexplained without a direct SAFEbuilt/Town Hall confirmation call.

Tips
- Kersey performs contemporaneous DORA license verification on every 'electrical only' permit application, and inspectors may re-verify the installing electrician's identity at any inspection at their discretion — make sure whoever is actually performing the work matches the licensed name on file, especially if a change occurs mid-project.
- There is no Kersey-specific local electrical contractor registration required beyond the state DORA license itself, unlike some Colorado home-rule jurisdictions that layer a local contractor registration on top of state licensure. Contractor

Kersey, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — actively cited as the current adopted code on all nine of the Town's SAFEbuilt-published 'Building Guides for Homeowners' (Additions, Accessory Structures, Re-Roofing, Basement Finish, Decks, Patio Covers/Carports, Window Replacement, Pole Barns, Swimming Pools), each stamped 'Document published by SAFEbuilt, Inc. 1.1.2026' and headed '2024 IRC' — these are the Town's most recently updated, actively maintained permitting documents (site-wide document-center timestamps show a 2026-03-30 publish date).; 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per the Town's Planning Department 'Current Building Regulations' page, which references a '2020 NEC - Significant Changes Residential Electrical' resource alongside the Municipal Code Chapter 18 structure.; RESOLVED 2026-07-23 (live primary source, Municode Library, library.municode.com/co/kersey, Kersey Municipal Code 'VERSION: OCT 23, 2025 (CURRENT)', codified through Ordinance No. 2025-0008 enacted 6/10/2025): the Municipal Code's own home page lists 'Adopted Ordinances Not Yet Codified,' including Ordinance No. 2025-0010, adopted 9/9/2025, titled verbatim 'AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL EXISTING BUILDING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING POOL and SPA CODE, 2024 EDITION, AND THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE, 2024 EDITION, PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL.' This is a real, dated, numbered ordinance (not a guess or inference) and directly confirms the SAFEbuilt-published '2024 IRC' guides were current and correct — the Town has adopted 2024 editions of IBC, IRC, IFGC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, IPMC, ISPSC, and IECC, superseding the 2018/2012 editions still shown in Chapter 18's currently-codified section text (Sec. 18-19 Building Code = 2018 IBC, Sec. 18-44 Residential Code = 2018 IRC, Sec. 18-64 Mechanical Code = 2018 IMC, Sec. 18-89 Fuel Gas Code = 2018 IFGC, Sec. 18-109 Plumbing Code = 2018 IPC, Sec. 18-134 Energy Conservation Code = 2012 IECC, Sec. 18-154 Property Maintenance Code = 2018 IPMC, Sec. 18-179 Existing Building Code = 2018 IEBC) — those codified sections simply have not yet been updated in Municode's online supplement to reflect the 9/9/2025 ordinance, exactly as the Municode banner itself discloses ('This Code of Ordinances... may not reflect the most current legislation adopted by the Municipality'). Notably, Ordinance No. 2025-0010's list does NOT include the International Fire Code — Article X (Sec. 18-199, adopted separately by Ordinance No. 2021-0001) remains the 2018 International Fire Code with no 2024-edition update found. Per this corpus's practice of treating the more current, actively-distributed and now ordinance-confirmed source as authoritative, this file treats IBC/IRC/IFGC/IPC/IMC/IEBC/IPMC/ISPSC as 2024 editions (per Ord. No. 2025-0010, 9/9/2025) and IFC as the 2018 edition (per Ord. No. 2021-0001, 1/12/2021, locally amended by Sec. 18-200) — the prior 'partial' flag on the non-residential code editions is resolved.; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code floor, 2021 IECC + electric/solar/EV-ready provisions, effective window July 2023-July 2026): RESOLVED IN PART 2026-07-23 — Municode confirms Chapter 18, Article VII (Sec. 18-134) currently codifies the 2012 IECC (not the ambiguous, undated 'Energy Conservation Code' the static Current Building Regulations page implied), and the same live Ordinance No. 2025-0010 (adopted 9/9/2025, not yet codified) adopts by reference the 2024 IECC, which post-dates and satisfies HB22-1362's 2021-IECC-floor requirement. The Home Additions guide's instruction to submit an 'Energy Code Compliance Report (www.energycodes.gov) or REScheck calculations' is consistent with 2024 IECC compliance documentation but still does not itself name an edition year — the 2024 IECC edition-year figure comes from the Ordinance 2025-0010 citation above, not from the SAFEbuilt guide.. Local amendments apply — see the Kersey overview page for the full list.
No local electrical licensing program was found. Kersey's published Electrical License Contemporaneous Review Guidelines describe verification of the contractor's Colorado DORA state electrical license at application and, at the inspector's discretion, at inspection — there is no separate Town-issued electrical contractor registration.
