Town of Kit Carson - Permits and Fees

city

The building permit authority for the Town of Kit Carson, Cheyenne County -- a statutory town (incorporated 1931) and railroad-era commercial hub, NOT to be confused with Kit Carson County (a separate county to the north). The Town's "Permits and Fees" page offers a downloadable Building Permit application requiring a stated $20 permit fee; the page does not state whether roofing work specifically requires a permit, nor state a contractor-registration requirement. The Town also maintains a newer official site, townofkitcarson.colorado.gov, carrying a "New Official Website, In Progress" banner and its own Permits and Fees page.

Permit process note
The Town's downloadable Building Permit form (from townofkitcarson.com/permits-and-fees) is titled "TOWN OF KIT CARSON BUILDING PERMIT" and states a "Permit Fee: $20.00." It requires the applicant to check a "Class of work: ___New ___Addition ___Alteration ___Repair ___Move," plus owner, contractor name/phone, legal description, zoning, use, valuation, building/lot size, utilities, and required setbacks, with sign-off lines for "Inspected by" and "Approved by." The form states: "*BUILDING PERMIT IS VALID FOR ONE YEAR FROM ISSUE DATE. EXTENSIONS CAN BE MADE IF NEEDED." The same page also offers a separate ATV Permit. Neither the page nor the form states whether re-roofing or repair of an existing roof falls within the generic "Repair" category, and no contractor-license or registration requirement is stated anywhere on the site. The Town's newer site (townofkitcarson.colorado.gov) carries a banner reading "New Official Website, In Progress" and its own Permits and Fees page; this record cites the longer-established townofkitcarson.com site.
