The Departments of Building, Planning, Site Development, and Environmental Health work together in the review and approval of development permits. Because most development projects require permits from each of these departments, we have prepared permit packets that explain how permitting is coordinated to assure a seamless development review experience.
Each Packet (New SFR, Commercial/Multi-Family, and Residential Additions & Alterations) contains an overview and separate sections that describe each department’s standards for development. Each section includes application forms and a list of submission materials necessary to apply for the permits for new construction, or additions & alterations.
To schedule an appointment please email the person directly or email permits@clearcreekcounty.us and we can provide you with contact info.
