The Community Development Department is responsible for a diverse set of programs that help make Breckenridge both a wonderful place for visitors and a very special place for locals to live as well. The Community Development Department is home to the Building, Planning, Open Space & Trails Divisions.

Apply For a Permit

There are two types of permits potentially needed for a project, Development Permits and Building Permits. Permits are required for all new construction, alterations, and remodels. A permit is required for nearly everything except for routine maintenance. For larger projects, new structures, or major remodels, a Development Permit must be submitted first. For smaller projects, that fall under a Class D Minor Development Permit classification, the Development Permit and Building Permit can be submitted together. Not all projects require both a Development Permit and a Building Permit. Please contact us with any questions on permits and permit classifications.
