Find your project type below for specific instructions on how to submit online or by email.
Single-family Homes and Duplexes
To log in a residential project, email all materials and plans to PlanReview@denvergov.org.
- Download the Residential Permitting Guide (PDF) for application forms and checklists (or the Master/TA guide for production homes). Do not apply separately to SUDP -- instead, include a utility site plan showing size, type, and location of water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer lines (and any other SUDP plans/documents specific to your project) with your building submittal. Both reviews will run concurrently.
- Save all files as PDFs and name them as follows: DocumentName_Address_Date.pdf (e.g., SitePlan_201WColfax_11-1-2017.pdf)
- As with paper submittals, all plans, reports, surveys, etc. prepared by an architect, engineer, or surveyor must bear their seal and signature. Learn how to apply a valid electronic signature (PDF). The electronic signature must be visible on the plan cover page and the seal must be visible on each sheet.
- Resubmittals: These also go to the PlanReview inbox -- not to your reviewer. You cannot resubmit hard copies for a project initially submitted by email, and vice versa.
NOTE: Email submittals will log in your project for review. For smaller projects that are eligible for a same-day permit and do not need to be logged in for review, visit the Single-family/Duplex Walk-through Counter.
Commercial and Multifamily Building Permits or Simultaneous Building & Zoning Permits
To log in a commercial/multifamily project, email all materials and plans to PlanReview@denvergov.org.
- For large files that cannot be sent as attachments, email a link to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. where staff can download the files. The documents must be available to download without a password.
- Download the Commercial Building Permit Guide (PDF) for application forms and checklists. Do not apply separately to SUDP -- instead, include a utility site plan showing size, type, and location of water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer lines (and any other SUDP plans/documents specific to your project) with your building submittal. Both reviews will run concurrently.
- Save all files as PDFs and name them as follows: DocumentName_Address_Date.pdf (e.g., SitePlan_201WColfax_11-1-2017.pdf)

Sewer Use & Drainage Permits (SUDP)
New! The SUDP application process has been combined with electronic building permit applications for a more streamlined submittal process and faster review times for many SUDP customers.
- All SUDP reviews will now start automatically when a building permit application is received at PlanReview@denvergov.org (using the instructions above). At a minimum, please include a utility site plan showing the size, type, and location of water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer lines (and any other SUDP plans/documents specific to your project) with your building plans to ensure a timely review. Do not submit separately to SUDP.
- Resubmittals, SUDP-only reviews for projects that do not need building permits, and SUDP plans submitted after logging in paper plans at the counter can continue to be emailed to wastewaterpermits@denvergov.org.
Fire Permits
Apply by email for fire permits that need to be logged in for plan review by the Denver Fire Department (e.g., fire suppression, low voltage & fire alarm, CO2 system install, etc.).
