Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Fee | Valuation-based (labor + materials + profit, including electrical/plumbing scope); no current numeric valuation-tier fee table is published by the Town or ProCode as of this review — contact ProCode (970-305-3161) or Town Hall (970-284-6931) for a project-specific quote. Codified Chapter 18 (current codification renumbers this Sec. 18-24, 'Fees') references 'the current fee schedule contained in the 2003 International Building Code' as amendable by Town Board resolution, but no such current resolution is published online. Re-chased 2026-07-23: confirmed live via Municode's CURRENT codification (library.municode.com/co/lasalle, codified through Ordinance No. 19-2025, adopted 12/9/2025 — verified this is not a stale snapshot) that Sec. 18-24 is unchanged and still delegates to the 2003 IBC schedule/board-resolution mechanism; also checked ProCode's LaSalle community resource page (safebuilt.com/about/our-companies/procode/la-salle, dateModified 2026-03-09) directly for a fee handout among its ~18 published documents — none exists. Gap is durable, not a stale-codification artifact. | |
| Construction Use Tax | 2% of total material cost | Per the Town's Building Permits page: 'The Town also has a 2% use tax on the total cost of the material.' |

Rooftop Solar / Photovoltaic Permit
VerifiedRequired for rooftop solar/photovoltaic installations in La Salle. The Town has adopted the Model Colorado Electric and Solar Ready Code, though this governs electric/solar-readiness in new construction rather than retrofit PV installation specifically; a standard electrical permit process applies to PV installation itself.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Electrical scope governed by the 2020 NEC as adopted by the Town
- Installer must hold a current Colorado DORA State Electrical Board license, subject to the Town's contemporaneous review procedure
- New construction is subject to the Model Colorado Electric and Solar Ready Code's electric/solar-readiness provisions (per HB22-1362), though this does not itself constitute a separate PV installation permit

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Permit Fee (PV installation) | Statewide valuation-based schedule under C.R.S. § 12-23-117: base fee ~$100-$120 for job valuation up to $2,000, plus roughly $10-$11.50 per $1,000 of valuation above that, which any Colorado local government (including La Salle) may scale up to 1.15x — capped in aggregate at $500 residential/$1,000 commercial by C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113 | La Salle has no published PV-specific fee table of its own (confirmed 2026-07-20 by re-checking the live Building Permits page and full-text search for solar/photovoltaic, as previously documented), but Colorado electrical inspections are a matter of statewide concern under C.R.S. § 12-23-117 — no local government may charge more than 1.15x the DORA State Electrical Board's own fee schedule, or impose any other electrical fee or charge. That statewide base schedule (townoflarkspur.org/media/2901, hosted live by the Town of Larkspur, CO, printed with DORA's own Denver address/phone) sets Section B "Commercial and other fees" (which Larimer County's current Table 1-E, larimer.org/sites/default/files/2020_electrical_fee_table.pdf, explicitly confirms includes solar) at $100 base for valuation up to $2,000, plus $10/thousand above. This governs the ceiling and formula for whatever La Salle/ProCode ultimately charges, even though La Salle's own specific multiplier was not independently published. |
EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Electric vehicle charging equipment (EVSE) installation in La Salle is processed as ordinary electrical work, issued locally by the Town (via its contracted plan-review/inspection agency, ProCode Inc., a SAFEbuilt company) under the 2020 NEC as adopted — the same mechanism documented on this file's general Electrical Permit entry. The Town's Building Permits page does not itemize EV chargers, EVSE, or charging stations as their own named project type, and no current numeric building-permit fee schedule (valuation-tier table) of any kind is published anywhere on the Town's website; the page states only the calculation method (valuation-based, including labor/materials/profit) plus a flat 2% construction use tax on material cost.
Reviewed 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Electrical permit required for EVSE/EV charger circuit installation, alteration, or repair, governed by the 2020 NEC as currently enforced by the Town
- Electricians must register with the Town/ProCode before applying for a permit and must provide current Colorado DORA State Electrical Board license credentials at registration
- Town/ProCode staff verify DORA license status contemporaneously using DORA's licensing service
- As a town of roughly 3,500 residents, La Salle falls below the population threshold (10,000) that makes a Colorado municipality a 'covered municipality' under HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act), so it was not required to take a Dec. 31, 2025 compliance action under that law

| Electrical Permit Fee (EVSE circuit) | Valuation-based (installation labor + materials + profit); no current published fee table exists for any permit type on the Town's site — contact ProCode or Town Hall for a project-specific quote. Re-chased 2026-07-20: the Town's live Building Permits page does not name 'EV charger,' 'EVSE,' or 'charging station' as its own itemized project type, so this is modeled as ordinary electrical work rather than a distinct fee category. Also checked whether a Colorado State Electrical Board fee schedule could be cited as a fallback (Colorado law caps local electrical fees at 1.15x the state's own annually-set schedule) -- the Board's current Rules and Regulations (3 CCR 710-1, Colorado Secretary of State) govern licensing and NEC adoption but do not themselves publish the dollar fee table, and DORA's own fee-schedule web pages return HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so no current, citable state figure could be located either. Re-chased 2026-07-23: Municode's current codification (Sec. 18-48, current through Ordinance No. 19-2025, 12/9/2025) reconfirms electrical permit fees are set 'from time to time by resolution of the board of trustees and set forth in the town fee schedule' rather than being codified — matching every other trade in this file. No numeric figure exists on any live channel checked. | |
