When do I need a building permit?

The following projects (not all inclusive) require a permit, either a 1 Stop Permit or a Plan Review Permit.

1-Stop Permits

A 1-Stop permit does not require drawings to be submitted for a plan review. Some examples are:

  • Air Conditioning System
  • Demolition
  • Electrical Service Amp Change
  • Furnace Replacement
  • Gas Fireplace
  • Lawn Sprinkler System
  • Reroof
  • Siding/Stucco
  • Water Heater Replacement
  • Water/Sewer Line Repair/Replacement
  • Window/Patio Door Replacement

An application is required for a 1-Stop permit. You will need to know the total value of the work to be performed to complete the application.

Plan Review Permits

Various projects will require you to submit drawings for a plan review. Some examples are:

  • Additions
  • Basement Finish
  • Carport
  • Deck
  • Fences over seven feet in height
  • Gas Line to Patio/Firepit (must provide site plan with location of pipe)
  • Patio Cover/Pergola
  • Pool/Hot Tub
  • Remodel

Plan review permits require two identical drawings. Drawings must show all structural components and be to scale. Residential additions require two foundation drawings stamped by a Colorado licensed engineer or architect.

A site plan is required for any addition or structure that will be added to the home, or property.
