Welcome to E-permits

Denver's online permitting system offers an easy, convenient way to submit permit applications for development projects, add contractors to your project, pay fees, download permits, schedule inspections, check your inspector's estimated time of arrival (ETA), see inspection results, and so much more without ever leaving your home or office.

All materials submitted with your application become public record and are subject to the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA).
