Tap Fees
Tap fees are collected on any new construction or remodel within the District’s boundaries.
Tap fees are based on the square footage of the floor area, plus any additional fixtures including a toilet, a tub/shower, a kitchen, a hot tub, etc.
Payment of tap fees are required before the Town of Mt Crested Butte will issue a building permit.
Please submit a tap fee application with a $150.00 check and a complete set of stamped architectural plans for a tap fee final determination (Application fee and tap fee must be remitted by check; no credit cards are accepted for Tap Fees).
Plans and payments can be emailed to info@mcbwsd.com or mailed to:
PO Box 5740 Mt Crested Butte, CO 81225-5740.
A locked drop box is also available for payments at 100 Gothic Road in Mt Crested Butte, CO.
The District does not estimate tap fees by any means without the submission of an application, fee and complete plans due to the liability and time involved.
