PRESS RELEASE
December 16, 2016
County updates road impact fees
New fee structure to include non-residential development
GARFIELD COUNTY, CO – Garfield County has updated its road impact fees and has
expanded them to include fees for non-residential development, such as commercial,
industrial and office uses. This is the first increase to the road impact fees since the
county began collecting them in 1997.
A road impact fee represents new growth’s proportionate share of capital facility needs,
and are seen as one component of a comprehensive funding strategy to ensure
provision of adequate public facilities. Road impact fees are collected from new
construction and used for needed system improvements to accommodate new
development. The county can spend impact fees solely for capital improvements, or
debt service for growth-related infrastructure. The fees are not used for operations,
maintenance and replacement of infrastructure, or correcting existing deficiencies.
The fees are collected on new construction within a specific area in the county — north,
south, or east district — and includes areas within six miles of an incorporated
municipality, or within one mile of a primary snow plow route. The fees collected in a
service area can only be spent for system improvements within the area in which they
have been collected.
The change of the fee structure will take effect Jan. 1, 2017. The road impact fee
amount will be determined by both the square footage of the project, and the area it is
located within. Fees will be assessed at the time building permits are issued.
Anyone seeking a building permit from the county that is within one of these districts
should be aware of this change in the county’s Road Impact Fee structure, as well as
the expansion of the fees to include non-residential development. The updated fee
schedule and district map are available on the county’s website, and any questions
should be directed to the Garfield County Community Development Department at (970)
945-8212.

*SITE AND SOIL EVALUATION REPORT REQUIREMENTS
A site and soil evaluation must be conducted for each property on which an OWTS is
proposed, to determine the suitability of a location to support an OWTS, and to provide
the designer a sound basis to select the most appropriate OWTS design for the location
and application. The technician completing the soil evaluation must be qualified
according to section 43.5-I of Garfield County’s On-Site Wastewater Treatment System
regulations, Resolution 2018-36. Soil analysis is subject to verification by GCPH, and a
site visit may be conducted prior to application approval.

rate of the soil.

If the site evaluation includes both a visual and tactile evaluation of soil profile
test pit excavations and percolation tests, and the results from these two
evaluations do not coincide with the same LTAR as noted in Table 10-1, the
designer must use the more restrictive LTAR in determining the size of the soil
treatment area.

Overview: Grading Permits typically require the submission of:
•
A Site Specific Inventory and Map of county and State Listed Noxious Weeds.
•
A Weed Management Plan.
•
A Revegetation and Reclamation Plan.
•
A Cost Estimate
•
A Financial Security.
The purpose of the plan is to ensure that the development does not result in: (i) erosion and dust generation, (ii) the propagation
of noxious weeds, (iii) the excessive loss of wildlife habitat and food sources, and (iv) long-term visual eyesores. The financial
security allows the County to perform reclamation in the case that the developer abandons the project or does not perform
adequate reclamation.
Required Elements of Vegetation and Reclamation Plan:
Section 1 - Soil Handling. Includes: (i) provisions for salvaging on-site topsoil, (ii) a timetable for eliminating topsoil and/or
aggregate piles, (iii) plan that provides for soil cover if any disturbances or stockpiles sit exposed for a period of 90 days or more,
and (iv) erosion control barriers and dust suppression measures.
Section 2 – Weed Management Plan. Includes: (i) a site specific weed inventory along with a site plan showing County Listed
Noxious Weeds and Colorado Listed A & B Noxious Weeds (Contact Garfield County Vegetation Management for updated list),
(ii) weed management plan that addresses inventoried weeds in a timely and effective manner. (Note: Garfield County may
require the submittal for treatment records.)
Section 3 – Site Revegetation and Restoration. Includes: (i) plant material list (be specific, scientific and common names
require), (ii) planting schedule (to include timing, methods, and provisions for watering, if applicable.)
Section 4 – Cost Estimate. Cost estimate is used to determine the amount of the financial security. Line items within the cost
estimate include: (i) mobilization, (ii) earthmoving, (iii) seed and planting, (iv) weed- free mulch, erosion control, and dust
suppression, (v) irrigation, and (vi) weed management. (Note: For pipelines and projects in which existing grade is the same as
final grade, a cost of $2,500/acre can used to determine the financial security.)
Financial Security; Bonds, Letter of Credit valid for a minimum of 2 years or Cash.
County Inspection and Release of Financial Security: When grading has been completed and vegetation reestablished, the
developer (permit holder) phones County Vegetation Manager (970-945-1377 Ext. 4305) and requests an inspection. If
restoration is determined to be adequate, the county will inform the development and release the financial security.

excava-
tion and earthwork construction, including fills and
embank-
ments, shall not be permitted in floodways that are in flood
hazard areas established in Section 1612.3 or

ELECTRICAL PERMIT FEES
Fee Schedule effective: April 1, 2016
(Solar Permits are on a Separate Form)
Fees are computed according to the appropriate chart below
Fees are based on A, B, C, or D below. Do not use more than one table to determine your fee.
If a permit is not filed in advance of the commencement of an installation, the inspection fee will be double, as prescribed by CRS 12-23-117(3).
Temporary construction meters require a separate permit application from any other activity.
Trim permit. If a permit expires after the rough-in inspection has been completed, inspected, and approved by the electrical inspector, but before
the final inspection is approved, a TRIM permit must be obtained. The fee is based on the valuation of the electrical remaining work to be inspected.
Minimum fee is $100
A. Residential Electrical Only Installation: (new, remodel, addition) (round sq. ft. up to next 100 for calculation)
Residential Installation – Based on enclosed living area only
FEE
Living Area: ≤ 1000 square feet
$100
1,001 square feet but ≤ 1,500 square feet
$150
1,501 square feet but ≤ 2,000 square feet
$200
≥ 2001 square feet ($200 + ($10 x each additional 100 sq. ft.))
Example: (2235 sq. ft.) first 2000 sq. ft. = $200 + 300 (235 rounded up to next 100) x $10 = $230
B. Commercial and other fees: Including some residential installations that are not based on square footage (not living area, i.e.
garage, shop, etc.). Fees in this section are calculated from the total cost to customer (contract price), including electrical
materials, items and labor- whether provided by the contractor or the property owner.
Valuation of Installation – (Based on cost to customer of labor, material and items)
Fee
≤ $2000 = $100 (base fee)
$100
≥ $2001 add $10 per thousand of job valuation (always round up the next $1,000) to the Base Fee ($100) =
EXAMPLE: The cost of the installation is $5,150 (round up to $6,000) (6 x $10 = $60)
The base fee (shown above): $100 + (6 x $10) $60 = $160.00 total fee
C. Mobile/Modular/Manufactured Home set (per unit)
$100
D. Temporary heat release
$ 50
RE-INSPECTION FEE ($50): A re-inspection fee may be assessed when additional inspections are required when the job is not ready
for inspection (if 5 or more correction items are cited), access is not provided, violations from the last inspection are not completed, etc.
Permit fees are reviewed occasionally and may be adjusted as necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicants should be prepared to do the following:
• Use the online permit system to request an inspection when the job is ready.
• Ensure that the work is completed within the time limitation of the permit.
• Install electrical according to the currently adopted edition of the Colorado Electrical Code (NEC).
