Chaffee County Fire Protection District retained BBC Research and Consulting based in Denver, Colorado to quanfity the effect of development on firefighting. We received a draft report on June 26th, 2025 quantifying that impact. Copies of that report can be provided upon request. Pursuant to the results of that study we now require impact fees for new builds and renovations that add square footage to an existing structure. 

Please fill out the attached form, and send to the email account: inspections@chaffeecountyfire.org 

We will help you determine (1) whether an impact fee applies to your project, (2) how  much the impact fee amount is, and (3) how to pay the impact fee.
