Community Development

The Community Development Department administers the oversight for planning and zoning activities within the municipal boundaries. It is also responsible for contracting building services (permit review, issuance and project approval) with the Grand County Building Department. ALL building and construction permits must be submitted via the CloudPermit online system. You must create an account at https://us.cloudpermit.com and login to submit applications.
