Building Safety and Inspection Services Office Hours
The Building Safety and Inspection Services office is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Building permits can be applied for and issued until 4 p.m.
The Building Safety and Inspection Services office is TEMPORARILY CLOSED ON TUESDAY’S in response to the severe hailstorms that hit Boulder County in mid-July, 2018. Building permit submittal or pickup, building plan review and building staff counter services are not available on Tuesday’s. All automated and online systems will remain fully functioning, and field inspections will not be affected. Staff will respond to voicemails and emails as soon as possible during these closure times, but longer response times should be anticipated. We understand that this may present a temporary hardship for our customers, and we thank you for your patience as we work through this localized hail emergency.
