Tips

  • Mead ties its electrical permit fee directly to the State of Colorado Electrical Board's own fee schedule (+/-15%), rather than publishing its own flat electrical fee table — check the current state board schedule to estimate cost.
  • No separate Town of Mead contractor license is required for electrical work, but the Town's general $30 business license still applies to anyone conducting business in Mead. Contractor
