Fee schedule

Town Admin Fee (Building Permit) + Use TaxPARTIALLY CLOSED 2026-07-23 on a live primary source: the Town of Nunn's 'Fee Schedule, Effective January 22nd, 2026' (PDF, linked live from the Town homepage — not located in the prior 2026-07-06 chase) establishes exactly two Building-Permit Admin Fee tiers Town-wide: 'Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review) $75.00' and 'Admin Fee (One Stop permits-re-roof, hot water heater etc.) $50.00', plus 'Use Tax on all Building Permits 2%'. The schedule does not itself name 'demolition' under either tier. 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Town Clerk's own flat component only — charged in addition to SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based fee, which remains unpublished as a table.
Most likely $75.00 flat Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review) — this file's own requirements describe demolition applications as 'forwarded to SAFEbuilt' in the same pattern as new-construction/addition scopes, not as an over-the-counter 'One Stop' item — plus 2% Use Tax on all Building Permits; $50.00 One Stop tier not ruled out

Tips

  • Demolitions are explicitly named on the Town's own building-permit-needed list — do not assume a small accessory structure demolition is exempt without confirming with the Town Clerk's Office first.

Frequently asked questions

The Town's published project list names 'Demolitions' broadly as requiring a permit; confirm the specific structure's status with the Town Clerk's Office, since very small permit-exempt accessory structures (120 sq ft or less, per the IRC/IBC exemption) may not require full demolition permitting, though an in-town building permit could still apply per NMC 15.08.020(b).

In Nunn, the published Town Admin Fee (Building Permit) + Use Tax is: Most likely $75.00 flat Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review) — this file's own requirements describe demolition applications as 'forwarded to SAFEbuilt' in the same pattern as new-construction/addition scopes, not as an over-the-counter 'One Stop' item — plus 2% Use Tax on all Building Permits; $50.00 One Stop tier not ruled out. These are the jurisdiction's own published figures — see the fee schedule table and source citations on this page.

No. 317 6-20-2019); 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), chapters 1-43 and appendix chapters H and M, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.120, as amended (Ord.

No. 317 6-20-2019); 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), chapters 1-11, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.160 (Ord. No. 317 6-20-2019); 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), chapters 1-5, adopted by reference as the town energy conservation code — NMC 15.04.140 (Ord. No. 317 6-20-2019); IBC section 1301.1.1/101.4.6 and IRC chapter 11 are both explicitly amended to substitute the 2012 IECC as well; National Electrical Code, 2002 edition, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.040 (codified text, unamended since original Code 2002 codification). 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.. Local amendments apply — see the Nunn overview page for the full list.
