Over the years, customers have often asked Larimer County Building Division to expand its services to
include electrical permits and inspections. Each time, the county declined to assume this responsibility
from the Colorado Electrical Board, because we concluded that providing strong customer service in this
area would cost more than we could recover in permit fees. But this time, after thoroughly studying how
to provide the service, we notified the State of Colorado that we are ready to take on this new
challenge. Starting July 1, 2020, anyone needing an electrical permit in unincorporated Larimer County,
or doing electrical work as a part of a larger construction project, will go to Larimer County Building
Division instead of the state of Colorado. We hope this makes electrical permitting simpler and
smoother for our customers.
