Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit in Nunn, Colorado

Nunn requires a fire sprinkler / fire alarm permit for: No standalone fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit type, application, fee schedule, or review process is published by the Town of Nunn or by the Nunn Fire Protection District as of this verification; NMC 15.04.060 (Title 15, Building Code chapter) is expressly labeled 'Reserved for fire code adoption' — the Town has adopted no International Fire Code edition of its own; Fire protection for the Town of Nunn is provided by the Nunn Fire Protection District, a volunteer department headquartered at 487 Logan Avenue (5th and Logan), Nunn, CO — contact 970.897.2329 / nunnfire@ezlink.com — confirmed via the Town of Nunn's own Fire Department and Utilities and Service Providers webpages; the district publishes no independent .gov website, application, or fee information of its own; Two-family dwellings (duplexes) built in Nunn require an automatic residential fire sprinkler system under IRC Section R313.2 as locally amended (NMC 15.04.120) — single-family dwellings are exempt from this local amendment, and townhomes remain governed by the unamended IRC R313.1 sprinkler requirement; this requirement is implemented through the standard Building Permit (Town Clerk's Office → SAFEbuilt) process for the underlying duplex construction, not a separate sprinkler-specific permit; Any commercial fire alarm or fire sprinkler system project should be confirmed directly with both the Town Clerk's Office (970-897-2385 / kendra.minch@townofnunnco.gov) and the Nunn Fire Protection District (970.897.2329) before design, since neither publishes a submittal checklist, plan-review process, or fee for these systems.

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. 237, 12-18-2003); 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), chapters 1-8, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.090 (Ord. No. 237, 263, 317); 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), chapters 1-16, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.130 (Ord. No. 263 5-3-2007; Ord. No. 317 6-20-2019); 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), chapters 1-8, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.150 (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.

No. NMC 15.04.060, within the Town's own Title 15 Building Code chapter, is expressly labeled 'Reserved for fire code adoption' — no International Fire Code edition has been locally adopted, and other code sections refer only generically to an 'Adopted Fire Code' without naming an edition.

Neither the district nor the Town publishes a fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit application, fee, or review process; contact the district directly at 970.897.2329.
