Do I need a permit to replace windows and doors?

How much is a permit?
Permit price varies depending on the amount of inspections required (which varies by project type), and the amount of work being done. Re-roof permit prices are based on square footage of roof being replaced and type of roofing material being used. Prices are generated after applications have been processed.

We accept all major credit cards, cash, and checks written to Clear Creek County with an address written in the memo.

Do I need an inspection for the work?

Can I come in person to get a permit?
Due to health safety concerns, we prefer if you refrain from coming in person. We are available via Zoom and phone for additional questions and can gladly USPS mail you physical copies of documents if you don't have a printer.
