NOTE: this is the currently codified NEC edition in the 2024 Nunn Municipal Code as republished by Ordinance No. 326 (adopted 6-20-2024, adopting/enacting the Municipal Code by reference). However, SAFEbuilt's own current 'Photovoltaic System Submittal Requirements' handout (the Town's contracted plan-review/inspection agency) states 'Applicable current codes are the 2020 NEC, 2018 International Codes' — a direct discrepancy between the codified 2002 NEC text and SAFEbuilt's operational reference. Flagged honestly rather than resolved by assumption; the governing citation is the codified 2002 NEC per NMC 15.04.040 pending confirmation from the Town.Chapter 15.16 (Energy Efficiency Construction) of the Nunn Municipal Code additionally references the 1977/1978 Colorado Model Energy Efficiency Construction and Renovation Standards for Nonresidential Buildings and the companion Colorado Recommended Energy Conservation 'Performance' Code for Residential Buildings — these appear to be vestigial/superseded provisions retained from the original 2002 code codification and predate the town's adoption of the 2012 IECC at NMC 15.04.140 (2019); not applied as the governing energy standard in this file.

Permit types & fees

Residential Building Permit (New Construction)

Verified

Required for new single-family or duplex construction in the Town of Nunn. Reviewed under the 2018 IRC as locally amended, including Nunn's Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria (30 psf ground snow load, 115 mph wind design speed, 30-inch frost depth) and a Colorado-registered-design-professional foundation/soils requirement. Applications are submitted to the Town Clerk's Office and forwarded to SAFEbuilt (the Town's contracted plan-review/inspection agency) for plan review; projects require Planning Board approval before SAFEbuilt review begins.

Verified 2026-07-23 · Source

Requirements

  • Planning Board approval required before the application is forwarded to SAFEbuilt for plan review; paperwork must be submitted to Town Hall at least 6 days before the Planning Board's first-Thursday-of-the-month, 6:00 p.m. meeting, and the applicant must personally attend
  • Plans must comply with the 2018 IRC as locally amended and meet Nunn's Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria: 30 psf ground snow load, 115 mph wind design speed (Exposure C, Seismic Design Category B), 30-inch minimum frost depth, ice barrier underlayment required
  • Foundation design and construction drawings must be stamped by a Colorado-registered design professional, based on an engineer's soils report (firm name, design location, and soils-report number noted); a site certification by a Colorado-registered design professional is required for setback verification
  • One set of plans (site plan, floor plan showing square footage by level/garage/deck/porch/crawl space, and structural/electrical/mechanical/plumbing plans as applicable) submitted to the Town Clerk's Office or emailed to kendra.minch@townofnunnco.gov
  • Once returned from SAFEbuilt, the Town emails an invoice with assessed fees; payment (in person or by phone) and authorization must be complete before work may begin
  • All inspections are performed by SAFEbuilt, not the Town; the owner/contractor is responsible for scheduling inspections directly with SAFEbuilt

Town Admin Fee (Building Permit, plan review required) + Use Tax$75.00 flat Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review), plus 2% Use Tax on all Building PermitsCLOSED 2026-07-23 on a live primary source: the Town of Nunn's own 'Fee Schedule, Effective January 22nd, 2026' (PDF, linked live from the Town homepage — not located in the prior 2026-07-06 chase) lists under 'Building Permits': 'Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review) $75.00' and 'Use Tax on all Building Permits 2%'. New residential construction always requires SAFEbuilt plan review per this file's own requirements, so the plan-review tier governs. This is the Town Clerk's own flat administrative processing fee and use-tax rate — charged IN ADDITION TO, not instead of, SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based plan-review/inspection fee, which SAFEbuilt calculates per application and remains unpublished as a table (re-checked 2026-07-23: no SAFEbuilt rate table specific to Nunn is published anywhere live). The prior 'no published fee schedule exists' finding is corrected for the Town's own admin-fee/use-tax component; it remains accurate only for SAFEbuilt's per-application valuation-based charge.
Investigation Fee (work commenced before permit issuance)Up to the amount of the permit fee that would normally applyIRC R108.6 as locally amended; charged in addition to all other required fees, collected whether or not a permit is subsequently issued
Permit Renewal After 180-Day ExpirationOne-half the original permit fee (if within 1 year of suspension/abandonment, no plan changes); full new fee if lapsed longerIRC R105.5 as locally amended

Residential Addition / Remodel Permit

Verified

Required for additions, basement finishes, kitchen/bath remodels, or any renovation involving electrical, plumbing, or structural modifications, doors/windows, or wall changes in the Town of Nunn. Governed by the 2018 IRC as locally amended; the Town publishes dedicated homeowner guides for Basement Finish and Home Additions scopes.

Requirements

  • Planning Board approval required before SAFEbuilt review begins if the project involves a structure or addition over 120 sq ft
  • Submit one set of plans showing before-and-after conditions, square footage by area, and a detailed description of proposed use
  • If walls are proposed for removal, plans must address structural implications (per general IRC/IBC provisions on structural elements)
  • Any exterior egress window well added or altered must comply with IRC R310.2.3 dimension requirements as locally amended
  • All contractors performing electrical or plumbing work must hold a current Colorado DORA state license, verified by the Town per its Electrical/Plumbing License Contemporaneous Review Guidelines (HB19-1086)

Additions/remodels are described in this file's own requirements as going through SAFEbuilt review regardless of size (only Planning Board approval is size-gated at 120 sq ft), so the plan-review tier governs. This is the Town Clerk's own flat admin fee and use-tax rate — charged IN ADDITION TO SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based plan-review fee, which remains unpublished as a table (re-checked 2026-07-23).

Electrical Permit

Required for electrical system installation, alteration, or repair in Nunn. The Town does NOT run its own certified electrical licensing/permitting program — it defers to the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) for tradesperson licensure, with contemporaneous license verification performed by the Town per C.R.S. 12-115-120(1)/(10) as amended by HB19-1086, applicable to all SAFEbuilt inspections since December 1, 2019.

Reviewed 2026-07-23 · Source

Requirements

  • Electrical-only permit applications must list the electrician's Colorado DORA state electrical license number
  • The Town verifies the listed electrician's license is active via the Colorado DORA online license lookup before accepting the application; an unverifiable license results in rejection
  • If the electrician performing/overseeing the work changes before final inspection, the Town must be notified and will re-verify the new electrician's license before work may continue
  • SAFEbuilt inspectors may, at their discretion, verify electrician identity at any inspection (not only rough/final) and may fail an inspection if unverifiable
  • Codified governing standard is the National Electrical Code, 2002 edition (NMC 15.04.040); note SAFEbuilt's own current Photovoltaic System Submittal Requirements handout instead cites the 2020 NEC as the applicable current code — this discrepancy between the codified text and the contracted reviewer's operational reference is unresolved as of this verification

The schedule does not itself name 'electrical permit' under either tier, so which of the two flat fees governs a given electrical scope is not Town-published; both real figures are reported rather than guessing one. Either way, this is the Town Clerk's own flat component only — charged in addition to SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based fee, which remains unpublished as a table.

Plumbing Permit

Required for plumbing system installation, alteration, or repair in Nunn. Governed by the 2018 International Plumbing Code as locally amended. Like electrical work, Nunn defers plumber licensure entirely to the Colorado State Plumbing Board (DORA) rather than running its own local plumbing contractor licensing program, with contemporaneous license verification required by the Town per HB19-1086.

Mechanical / HVAC Permit

Verified

Required for furnace, boiler, and gas piping installation or replacement in Nunn. Governed by the 2018 International Mechanical Code and 2018 International Fuel Gas Code as locally amended (e.g., 18-inch minimum plastic fuel gas pipe burial depth, 10 psig test pressure, 15-minute test duration for small-volume/single-family systems).

Re-Roof Permit

Verified

Required for re-roofing work in Nunn (shingle repair/replacement exceeding 100 sq ft/one square is the only exempted minor scope). Governed by the 2018 IRC/IBC as locally amended, with a mandatory ice barrier underlayment requirement per IRC R905.1.2 documented in the Town's own Ice & Water Shield Requirements handout.

Requirements

  • Re-roofing is explicitly listed as requiring a building permit on the Town's project list; only shingle repair/replacement work not exceeding 100 sq ft (one square) of covering per building is exempt, per IBC/IRC section 105.2/R105.2 as locally amended
  • Ice barrier underlayment required per 2018 IRC R905.1.2: not fewer than two cemented underlayment layers (or a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen sheet), extending from the lowest roof edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line (36 inches on slopes at or above 8:12); exception for detached accessory structures without conditioned floor area

Rooftop / Ground-Mounted Solar Photovoltaic Permit

Verified

Required for solar panel installation or replacement in Nunn. SAFEbuilt (the Town's contracted plan-review/inspection agency) publishes a dedicated Photovoltaic System Submittal Requirements packet specifying current applicable codes as the 2020 NEC and 2018 International Codes, plus structural engineering letter requirements for roof-mounted and ground-mounted systems.

Verified 2026-07-20 · Source

Requirements

  • Permit application (emailed to the Town or submitted online) must fully describe the work, with valuation based on total cost to the customer (contract price) including materials and labor regardless of who supplies them
  • A separate plan review — and potentially a separate permit — is required for each building/address on a property
  • Per SAFEbuilt's Photovoltaic System Submittal Requirements packet, applicable current codes are the 2020 NEC and 2018 International Codes (this is SAFEbuilt's own stated reference and differs from the 2002 NEC edition still shown in the codified Nunn Municipal Code text at NMC 15.04.040 — see localAmendments note)
  • Roof-mounted systems require a structural engineer's stamped letter addressing added roof weight and additional wind load from the panels, designed to a minimum ground snow load of 30 psf, wind speed of 115 mph Vult, Exposure C, and Seismic Design Category B, including roof connection/embedment type
  • Ground-mounted systems require an engineer-stamped letter for system support and wind load, using the same 30 psf snow load / 115 mph Vult / Exposure C / Seismic Design Category B design basis

Fee schedule

Fee typeAmountNotes
Building/Electrical Permit Fee (SAFEbuilt-calculated, valuation-based)Statewide electrical component follows C.R.S. § 12-23-117: base fee ~$100-$120 for job valuation up to $2,000, plus roughly $10-$11.50 per $1,000 of valuation above that, scalable up to 1.15x by the local government — capped in aggregate at $500 residential/$1,000 commercial by C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113Nunn's own Town Board-set/SAFEbuilt-calculated fee remains a per-application, not a published-table, mechanism (confirmed 2026-07-20 by re-checking the Building/Planning page and SAFEbuilt's Photovoltaic System Submittal Requirements packet). However, Colorado electrical inspections are a matter of statewide concern under C.R.S. § 12-23-117 — no local government, including Nunn, may charge more than 1.15x the DORA State Electrical Board's own fee schedule for the electrical scope, or impose any other electrical fee or charge. That statewide base schedule (townoflarkspur.org/media/2901, hosted live by the Town of Larkspur, CO, printed with DORA's own Denver address/phone) sets Section B "Commercial and other fees" (which Larimer County's current Table 1-E, larimer.org/sites/default/files/2020_electrical_fee_table.pdf, explicitly confirms includes solar) at $100 base for valuation up to $2,000, plus $10/thousand above. This governs the ceiling and formula for whatever SAFEbuilt ultimately invoices for Nunn's electrical scope.

Demolition Permit

Required to demolish any building or structure in the Town of Nunn, per the Town's general building-permit requirement (Title 15) and its own project list, which explicitly names 'Demolitions' as requiring a permit.

EV Charger / EVSE Permit

The Town of Nunn does not publish a dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit type. Installation of a Level 2 EV charger is permitted under the Town's standard Electrical Permit, administered on the Town's behalf by its contracted plan-review/inspection provider, SAFEbuilt. As with all electrical work in Nunn, the Town verifies the installing electrician's Colorado DORA state electrical license before accepting the application (per C.R.S. 12-115-120(1)/(10), HB19-1086) — Nunn has no local electrical contractor licensing program of its own. The Town's 2026 Fee Schedule publishes a general two-tier Building Permit Admin Fee ($75 plan-review / $50 One Stop) plus a 2% Use Tax, but names no EV-specific line item, so no EV-specific dollar figure can be verified.

Reviewed 2026-07-23 · Source

Requirements

  • Electrical permit application must list the electrician's Colorado DORA state electrical license number; the Town verifies it is active before accepting the application
  • Governed by the National Electrical Code as adopted by reference in Nunn Municipal Code 15.04.040 (codified as the 2002 edition, though SAFEbuilt's current operational submittal guidance references the 2020 NEC — an unresolved discrepancy)
  • If the electrician performing the work changes before final inspection, the Town must be notified and will re-verify the new electrician's license
