Building Permit Fee Increase Effective July 1, 2024

Building Permit Fee Increase of 5.22% on July 1, 2024

In 2008, the Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution authorizing the Building Division to annually adjust Building Permit Fee Schedule Tables 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-E based on the US Department of Labor/Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley, Colorado area.  Based on this year’s 5.22% increase in the successor regional CPI, the Building Division will adjust those fee tables accordingly, effective July 1, 2024.

The adjustment in the fees each year reflects changes in road construction costs during the previous year and is based on the Colorado Construction Cost Index data compiled and reported by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).  Since 1998, Larimer County has been collecting transportation capital expansion fees from new traffic generating development to be used for improvements to the road system to accommodate the increase in traffic generated by the new development.
