Building Permit Applications

No building or structure, regulated by this Building Code shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate building permit for each building or structure has been first obtained from the Building Inspection Division.

A permit application must be submitted for all projects.  The Weld County Code, Chapter 29, requires that every permit applicant supply specific information and certain declarations regarding the proposed work.  Please visit the individual webpages for a list of the specific requirements for Residential, Commercial, Agricultural Exempt (COC), or Oil and Gas projects.
