Electrical Permit in Lochbuie, Colorado

Fee schedule
Electrical Permit FeeTown of Lochbuie Fees, updated April 2026, Section C item 7 — this is a direct pass-through of the CRS 12-23-117(3) state-mandated schedule, not a locally-set fee table
Electrical Permit fees as charged by the State of Colorado Electrical Board, plus 15%
Class E (Electrical) Contractor License — All Classes Registration FeeRe-chased 2026-07-23: independently re-fetched the live Contractor Licenses webpage (lochbuie.org/community-dev/page/contractor-licenses) and the live April 2026 Town Fees PDF (lochbuie.org/media/16666) side by side. Both agree and reconcile cleanly once the table structure is read correctly: (1) a flat 'All Classes Registration Fee (incl. Class E)' of $15.00/year applies to every contractor class, Class E included; (2) a SEPARATE per-class 'Registration' fee line applies on top of that for Classes A/B/C/D/P/M/MP ($150/$100/$75/$50/$75/$75/$100 respectively) but Class E is the only class with NO separate per-class registration line (i.e. its per-class add-on is $0.00) — so Class E's total is $15.00 (flat fee) + $0.00 (class add-on) = $15.00. This is confirmed arithmetically by both sources' own quarterly proration tables, which each show Class E's total due as a flat $15.00 in every quarter (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec) — unlike every other class, whose quarterly total steps down each quarter (because their nonzero per-class fee is prorated while the $15 flat registration fee is not). The prior pass's 'discrepancy' was not actually a discrepancy — it was two different, correctly-priced line items being compared as if they were the same line item. Total confirmed current cost for Class E: $15.00/year, no proration variance.

Tips
- Lochbuie's electrical fees are a direct pass-through of the Colorado State Electrical Board's own fee schedule plus the Town's 15% surcharge — do not expect a locally-published flat-rate electrical fee table; the applicable base rate is set by the State of Colorado, not the Town.
- Resolved 2026-07-23: the earlier-flagged 'discrepancy' between the Contractor Licenses webpage ($0.00 Class E registration) and the April 2026 Fee Schedule PDF ($15.00 All Classes Registration Fee incl. Class E) is not actually a conflict — both live sources agree Class E's total annual cost is a flat $15.00 (the $15 flat 'All Classes' fee plus a $0.00 Class-E-specific add-on, confirmed by both documents' own quarterly proration tables showing $15.00 due in every quarter for Class E). No further confirmation with the Town is needed for this figure. Contractor
- A residential Electrical Service Change (amp upgrade) qualifies for the faster One Stop Permit track — state the number of amps being upgraded on your application to use this track.

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.
No. Per the Town's April 2026 Fee Schedule, electrical permit fees are 'as charged by the State of Colorado Electrical Board plus 15%' — Lochbuie defers fee-setting to the state board's own schedule (CRS 12-23-117(3)) and adds the maximum local surcharge the statute allows, rather than publishing its own locally-set electrical fee table.
