Fee schedule

Demolition permit feeVerified-negative, closed 2026-07-23 after an exhaustive new re-chase beyond the original pass: (1) independently re-fetched and re-read the live April 2026 Fee Schedule PDF (lochbuie.org/media/16666) in full, line by line — no 'Demolition' item anywhere among Sections A-F; (2) re-fetched the live Demolition Requirements checklist (lochbuie.org/media/5281) — lists required submittal documents only, states no fee figure; (3) re-fetched the live general Building Permit Application PDF (lochbuie.org/media/6036) — its fee-line boxes (Building Permit, Plan Review, Use Tax, Admin Fee, itemized utility fees) are generic to all permit types including demolition, with no demolition-specific box; (4) re-fetched the live Guides and Checklists page and the live Permit Fees landing page — neither adds any demolition fee info beyond linking the same two PDFs; (5) probed the CommunityConnect/CommunityCore applicant portal (app.communitycore.com) directly — public root loads only an authenticated SPA shell, no public fee API surfaced, and the jurisdiction-specific path returns 404 without login, so this avenue is a dead end without contractor credentials; (6) NEW avenue not previously tried: rendered the Town's actual codified ordinance, Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Building Regulations), live via a JS-capable browser at library.municode.com (version dated Feb 9, 2026, current) rather than relying on a curl shell or Wayback snapshot as the prior pass did — confirmed Chapter 18, Article I (Code Adoptions) amends IBC 109.4/109.6 and IRC R108.4-108.6 to authorize the Town to charge an 'investigation fee' for unpermitted work and to set/refund permit fees generally, but nowhere codifies a specific dollar figure for demolition (or any other permit type) in the ordinance itself; fee dollar amounts are delegated entirely to the administratively-set Fee Schedule, which itself (per items 1-4 above) has no demolition line. Article II's manufactured-home-specific 'building (move-out) permit' fee (set by separate Board of Trustees resolution) is the only demolition-adjacent fee actually named in the Municipal Code, and it applies only to manufactured/mobile homes being demolished/removed, not general building demolition (see the existing $300 Move-Out Fee entry under permitTypes for the manufactured-housing category). Conclusion: this is a genuine, actively confirmed gap in what the Town publishes -- not an omission on this file's part -- so demolition permits are billed under the general/catch-all mechanism per the department's own practice.
No dedicated dollar figure exists anywhere Lochbuie publishes; billed under the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee Schedule or, absent a stated valuation, the $50.00 'Building permits which no fee is specifically indicated' catch-all rate (Specialized Permit Fee Schedule item 12)

Tips

  • Gather all five required items (application, contractor's license if applicable, $100,000 minimum liability certificate, assessor's tax-paid note, and asbestos certificate if required) before submitting — the Town explicitly will not accept a partial demolition submittal for review. Contractor
  • Confirmed 2026-07-23 (re-checked every Town-published fee document plus the codified Municipal Code itself, rendered live): Lochbuie genuinely does not publish a specific demolition fee amount anywhere. Budget for either the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee Schedule or the $50.00 catch-all rate, and confirm the exact amount directly with the Building Department (303-990-5776) before applying.

Lochbuie, Colorado has adopted: 2021 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — per the Town's live Building Department webpage (Adopted Building Codes section), the current governing statement; 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — per the same live webpage statement; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per the same live webpage statement; Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Building Regulations), Town of Lochbuie — the live webpage directs to 'Chapter 18 - Building Regulations' of the Municode-hosted Municipal Code for local amendments; Municode's library.municode.com renders chapter text via a JavaScript/Angular single-page application backed by a private API, which could not be retrieved directly (repeated 403s/404s on documented API-guess and Wayback Machine snapshot attempts, all of which returned only the unrendered JS shell, not chapter text) — the live department webpage's own explicit code-list statement (2021 IPC/IECC, 2023 NEC) is treated as the current, governing, actively-maintained source per this corpus's standing practice of trusting a live department page over a static/undated artifact, consistent with the Vail file's precedent.; Document-currency conflict noted honestly: three different code vintages appear across the Town's own published materials — the live Building Permits webpage states 2021 IPC/2021 IECC/2023 NEC; the 'Design Criteria Town of Lochbuie' PDF (undated) lists 2018 IRC/2018 IECC/2017 NEC for residential and 2018 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/2017 NEC for commercial, plus 2018 IPMC/IEBC/Swimming Pool & Spa Code as 'Other Adopted Codes'; and SAFEbuilt's own trade-specific guidance documents cite yet other editions (PV Submittal Requirements, last revised 10.22.2021, cites '2020 NEC, 2018 International Codes'; the Re-Roof Requirements guide states 'Current code 2018 IRC'). No IBC or IRC edition is named anywhere on the live Building Permits webpage itself — only IPC, IECC, and NEC are explicitly stated there. Per the live-webpage-wins convention, this file treats 2021 IPC/2021 IECC/2023 NEC as verified-current, and lists 2018-cycle IRC/IBC/IMC/IFGC/IPMC/IEBC/Swimming Pool & Spa Code from the Design Criteria PDF as the best-available (but visibly stale, per the department's own newer NEC/IPC/IECC citations) reference point for those code families pending confirmation directly with the Building Department.; 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) — per the Design Criteria Town of Lochbuie PDF (undated, 'Residential Construction' column); not restated on the live webpage, so carried at partial confidence pending direct confirmation; 2018 International Building Code (IBC), 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC), 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — per the same Design Criteria PDF ('Commercial Construction' column); not restated on the live webpage, partial confidence; 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), 2018 Swimming Pool & Spa Code — per the same Design Criteria PDF ('Other Adopted Codes' column); partial confidence. Local amendments apply — see the Lochbuie overview page for the full list.
