Fee schedule

Town Admin Fee (Building Permit) + Use TaxCLOSED (water heater/furnace/boiler REPLACEMENT scope) / PARTIALLY CLOSED (other mechanical scopes) 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) explicitly lists 'Admin Fee (One Stop permits-re-roof, hot water heater etc.) $50.00' — a direct, named match to this permit type's own water-heater/furnace-replacement scope — alongside 'Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review) $75.00' and 'Use Tax on all Building Permits 2%'. New-installation or larger mechanical scopes (e.g. gas piping runs over 10 feet) are not explicitly classified by the Town as 'One Stop,' so the plan-review tier may instead apply; both real figures are reported. 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Town Clerk's own flat component only — charged in addition to SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based fee, which remains unpublished as a table.
$50.00 flat Admin Fee for water heater/furnace/boiler replacement processed as a 'One Stop' permit (explicitly named by the Town); $75.00 for scopes requiring SAFEbuilt plan review (e.g. new furnace/boiler installation, gas piping runs); plus 2% Use Tax on all Building Permits

Tips

  • Furnace/boiler/water heater REPLACEMENTS require a permit in Nunn just like new installations — the Town's own project list explicitly names 'Furnace installations or replacement,' 'Boiler installation or replacement,' and 'Water heater installations or replacement' as permit-required items, so don't assume a like-for-like swap is exempt.
  • Gas piping runs over 10 feet trigger a permit requirement per the Town's own published project list.

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, 263, 317); 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC), chapters 1-15, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.030 (Ord. No. 237, 263, 317); 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC), chapters 1-13, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.050 (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.

Yes. The Town of Nunn's Building/Planning page explicitly lists furnace installations or replacement, boiler installation or replacement, and water heater installations or replacement as projects requiring a building permit.
