Community Planning and Development is looking for passionate, qualified individuals to join our Zoning and Neighborhood Inspections team. Neighborhood inspectors uphold the city's zoning code requirements through education and enforcement. They work to ensure our neighborhoods are safe and maintained according to the city's codes by responding to all complaints and concerns.

We're also looking for a highly motivated marketing and public relations specialist who can help communicate how adopted city plans inform changes to the zoning code, with a particular focus on achieving more equitable development outcomes and housing options for all Denverites.

On August 2, Denver City Council voted to approve the La Alma Lincoln Park Historic Cultural District. Through a year-long community process, the city’s Landmark Preservation staff created customized design guidelines that appropriately reflect the layered history and culture of the La Alma Lincoln Park neighborhood. These design guidelines will be reviewed and adopted by the Landmark Preservation Commission at September 21.

The Denver Zoning Code was amended in July 2021. All new permit applications and resubmittals of existing applications will be reviewed according to the latest code. Customers submitting a modification or resubmittal of an existing application have the option of using the new, amended code, or continuing under the previous code version.

If you would like to continue under the previous code, please let your zoning or residential reviewer know in writing stating, "We request for the project locate at [insert address] to be reviewed under the previous Denver Zoning Code."

We're making it easier than ever to collect all of the required agency signatures needed to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) and Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO).
