Building Permits in Greeley

Greeley's Building Inspection program reviews permit applications and inspects regulated construction. Applications are submitted through eTRAKiT.

Adopted codes

The City states that its 2021 I-Codes became effective January 1, 2023 and that the 2023 NEC became effective January 1, 2024. The City's adopted-code list includes the 2021 IBC and 2021 IRC with local requirements.

The City requires a permit before regulated construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, movement, demolition, occupancy changes, or regulated electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing work. Project-specific exceptions must be checked against the adopted code rather than inferred from another city.

Fees

Greeley states that building permit fees are valuation based. Its current Building Inspection page expressly sets the plan-review fee at 55% of the building-permit fee when plan review is required. That percentage is a Greeley rule and should not be generalized to other jurisdictions.

Inspections and completion

The City states that inspections scheduled before 6:00 a.m. on a business day may be scheduled and completed that day; weekend and holiday inspections are not offered through the ordinary process. Required inspection types and occupancy/final approvals depend on the project.

Review time and professional design

No generic permit-review duration is stated here. Colorado regulates architects and engineers, but sealed professional documents are project-dependent; confirm the applicable requirement with Building Inspection and the Colorado licensing authority.
