Fee schedule

Fire Sprinkler/Alarm Plan Review & Permit Fee
Hudson Fire Protection District 2026 Fee Schedule, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System table. Show full citationHudson Fire Protection District 2026 Fee Schedule, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System table. The District's schedule is published and is hosted on the Town's own site; the previous entry recorded it as not published, which is no longer true. Note that the Town labels this link “2026 Fee Schedule” as though it were the Town's own, and the PDF's embedded title still reads “Brighton Fire Rescue District Fee Schedule 08-2023” — only the letterhead identifies it correctly. Separate New Construction/Remodel review fees start at $220.00 for 1-10,000 sq ft, and commercial and subdivision review is billed at $55.00 per hydrant.
Automatic fire sprinkler system (NFPA 13, 13D, 13R), by building size: $440.00 for 1-10,000 sq ft; $550.00 for 10,001-25,000; $770.00 for 25,001-50,000; $1,650.00 for 50,001-100,000

    Tips

    • Lochbuie's fire district assignment is not automatically 'the Town's own department' — confirm with the Town's published HFPD Service Area Map or by calling the Building Department (303-655-9308) which specific fire district covers your parcel before contacting a fire marshal, since district boundaries can be granular within a single town.
    • HFPD's enforcement of 2018 IFC Appendices B and C (fire flow and fire hydrant requirements) means sprinklered buildings may qualify for code-driven reductions — worth raising with HFPD directly during design.

    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 Town's webpage directs to 'Chapter 18 - Building Regulations' of the Municode-hosted Municipal Code for local amendments. The department webpage's own explicit code-list statement (2021 IPC/IECC, 2023 NEC) is treated as the current, governing, actively-maintained source, since a live department page is a stronger authority than a static/undated artifact.; Document-currency conflict: 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. Because the department's own webpage is the most current authority, this record treats 2021 IPC/2021 IECC/2023 NEC as 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.

    The Hudson Fire Protection District (HFPD, 303-536-0161), which the Town's own website confirms serves parts of Lochbuie via a published service area map. No dedicated online sprinkler/alarm permit application or fee schedule was located on HFPD's website — contact HFPD or the Town Building Department (303-655-9308) directly.
