Commercial Plan Review File Changes - Important
With the change to our new website, commercial plan reviews will no longer be submitted as one large file. Instead, they will be uploaded by 'division of work'. A typical set will include Site Plan, Architectural Plan, Civil Plan, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and specs.
This should make it easier for submission and allows for revisions to be completed while waiting for other division reviews.
Update on Re-Roofing with an installed solar system
Effective February 1st 2025 Pueblo Regional Building Department will require a solar remove and replace permit be pulled and attached to the re-roof permit.
The remove and replace permit issued to a licensed solar contractor will need to exist before roofing permit can be issued.
Roofing & Roof mounted Solar inspections are subject to inclement weather conditions; rain, snow or high winds may delay scheduled inspections.
