2022 Colorado Code
Title 25 - Public Health and Environment
Article 10 - On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Act
§ 25-10-107. Fees

1. A local board of health may set fees for permits. The permit fees may be no greater than required to offset the actual indirect and direct costs of the local public health agency's services. With respect to any permit, the local board of health shall set the fee for the permit so as to recover, as nearly as can be practically established, the costs associated with that permit. Upon request, the local board of health shall provide the permittee with a statement that specifies how the permit fee was calculated. A local board of health may also set fees for soil evaluation and other services as requested by the applicant. The fees may be no greater than required to offset the actual indirect and direct costs of the services.
2. Local boards of health may set fees for percolation tests and other soil evaluation services that are performed by the local public health agency. The fees may be no greater than required to offset the actual indirect and direct costs of such services.
3. In addition to the fees established in this section, the division may assess a fee of twenty-three dollars for each permit authorized for a new, repaired, or upgraded on-site wastewater treatment system. Of that fee, the county in which the on-site wastewater treatment system is or will be located shall retain three dollars to cover the county's administrative costs and shall transmit twenty dollars to the state treasurer, who shall deposit that sum in the public and private utilities sector fund created in section 25-8-502 (1.5)(a)(V).
