Fee schedule

Town Admin Fee (Building Permit, One Stop) + Use TaxCLOSED 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 — plus 'Use Tax on all Building Permits 2%'. 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use-tax rate — charged in addition to SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based plan-review/inspection fee, which remains unpublished as a table (re-checked 2026-07-23).

Tips

  • Only very minor shingle repair/replacement (100 sq ft or less) is permit-exempt in Nunn — any full or substantial re-roof needs a permit.
  • Ice barrier underlayment is mandatory per the Town's own published Ice & Water Shield Requirements handout — confirm your roofer is pricing full compliance with IRC R905.1.2 coverage extents, not a partial or elevation-based product.

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); 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, per 2018 IRC section R905.1.2 as documented in the Town's own Ice & Water Shield Requirements handout, with the standard exception for detached accessory structures lacking conditioned floor area.
