How To Apply for a Building Permit
Applying for permits involves following sets of guidelines and filling out the appropriate forms. Check out the Commercial Building Permit Guide to learn how to apply for them. It takes you through every step of the construction planning and permit application processes and shows you whether you need to get approval from specific Denver zoning departments, like Landmarks and Historic Districts or the Office of the City Forester. It walks you through the building plan review process and the project process after you receive your permits. If you follow the steps in this guide, you’ll get your permits approved quickly and efficiently.
When Do You Need a Commercial Building Permit?
You need a commercial building permit for most commercial construction projects in Denver. Why?

Overall, you need a commercial building permit any time you want to build a new facility or put an addition on an existing one.
