Fee schedule

Building Permit FeeValuation-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.

Tips

  • Because plan review and inspections are contracted to ProCode Inc. (a SAFEbuilt company), route detailed technical questions to ProCode (970-305-3161) rather than only the Town's general line — ProCode staff hold the current fee and scheduling specifics.
  • Request inspections before 4 PM to be scheduled for the following business day; the Town's inspection scheduling has migrated to the Community Connect platform as of March 1, 2026.
  • Confirm your foundation engineer provides both a soils report and a stamped foundation design — this is a hard local requirement layered onto the base 2018 IRC/IBC, not merely a best practice.
