Does my outdoor project require a permit?

Longer days and warmer weather may have you motivated to expand your outdoor living space. Before you start a big project, there are a few things to know about the permitting process:

Decks, patios and balconies attached to your home, regardless of size, require a building permit
Decks, patios, balconies, pergolas, gazebos or sunshades that are not attached to your home, are less than 200 square feet, and less than 30 feet above grade do not require a building permit (Some restrictions apply – contact the Building Division for details)
Residential flatwork (concrete) does not require a building permit, regardless of depth
Detached sheds and hot tubs require permits

For more information, or to check if a permit is needed for your outdoor project, visit CRgov.com/Building. Or contact the Town of Castle Rock Building Division at 720-733-3527 or BuildingCounter@CRGov.com.
