Town of Morrison
Plumber Morrison CO
Morrison contracts building review and inspections to Charles Abbott Associates. Ask the town whether the address is inside town limits before you file. No service-line ownership rule was on the pages that were read.
Where the permit goes
The town's building department page, morrisonco.us/140/Building-Department, says Charles Abbott Associates enforces the town's codes for residential and commercial properties. Inspection requests must be in by 4:00 p.m. the business day before. The building contact on that page is building@morrisonco.us, with a physical office listed at 4704 Harlan Street, Suite 684, Lakeside. Town hall is 321 Highway 8, Morrison, phone 303-697-8749, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A staff directory on the town's other site lists an inspection line at 303-450-8748. Use the building email and town hall phone to confirm which line schedules a plumbing inspection. An earlier guess at town.morrison.co.us/building-department returned 404. This is the page that replaced it.
Floodplain, the street, and what is not claimed
The same page lists a floodplain permit checklist and a permit for work in the public right of way, plus residential and commercial plan checklists. Morrison sits in a narrow valley. If the work is in a mapped floodplain, that checklist is a separate application. The pages do not say who owns a sewer lateral or a water service. Do not borrow Golden, Evergreen, or Aurora. JeffCom's non-emergency number is printed on the town page. It is not a sewer crew, and it is not Lakewood's after-hours utility line even though the digits match a Lakewood number. Confirm you are inside the town. Nearby unincorporated Jefferson County uses the county counter described on the Evergreen page.
Questions to settle first
Who reviews a Morrison building permit?
Charles Abbott Associates, under contract with the town, according to morrisonco.us. Inspection requests are due by 4:00 p.m. the business day before. Town hall is 321 Highway 8, 303-697-8749. The building contact email is building@morrisonco.us. Confirm whether your address is inside town limits before you apply.
Does Morrison publish a water-heater permit list?
The building department page does not list water heaters by name. Residential and commercial plan checklists are linked. Ask the town whether a replacement heater needs the full residential checklist or a smaller permit. Golden's list and Sheridan's closet rules are those cities' rules.
Who fixes a sewer line under the street?
Morrison's building page does not say who owns the pipe. The town does publish a right-of-way permit for work in the public street. That is permission to occupy the street. Ask the utility on the bill before you authorize the repair. Responsibility varies by utility.
A slow drain is drain cleaning until a camera shows a broken sewer line. A tank swap is water heater replacement. Confirm the permit office and the utility for this address before the work is closed up.
