Larimer County will raise the cost of septic permit fees as of June 1, according to the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment. The new fees were approved by the Board of Health at its May meeting. These increases comply with the Board’s direction that user fees, rather than taxpayer dollars, should cover most of the costs of services that benefit individual households and businesses.

The new rates are:
New Residential: $873
Vaults: $375
Minor Repair: $298
Major Repair: $548
Remodel: $400
Mortgage Loan Inspections: $265

Unchanged rates:
New commercial: $1,023
Commercial repair: $1,023

$23 of every new or repair permit is a state-mandated fee that goes to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
