Tips

  • Unlike electrical, Lochbuie sets its own plumbing permit fees locally rather than deferring to a Colorado state board schedule — confirm your contractor is quoting against the Town's own valuation-based fee table, not a state plumbing board rate.
  • Water/Sewer Line repairs qualify for the faster One Stop Permit track — state the footage and repair type on your application to use it.

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. Unlike electrical permits (which Lochbuie explicitly ties to the State of Colorado Electrical Board's fee schedule plus 15%), plumbing permits in Lochbuie are fee-set entirely under the Town's own general valuation-based Building Permit Fee Schedule, with no state-board pass-through found in the April 2026 Fee Schedule.
