CORONAVIRUS UPDATE!

The Planning Department can take your phone calls, emails or in person by appointment only, with the CDC recommended safety measures. This may take a bit more time to complete but will ensure your project moves forward. If completing your permit digitally, please follow the checklist below to avoid further delays. Note that this process must be followed including the payment/confirmation, in order for the permit to be considered valid. As always, confirm your permit application through Pikes Peak Regional Building as well.

  2. Planning will review the applications as normal and contact the applicant if further information is needed.
  3. If approved, the permit will be signed and emailed by our staff to the Permit Applicant.
  4. Next, we request that you then sign and pay for the permit.
  5. You may come in person to the Town Hall Front Desk to sign and pay for the permit by following the CDC guidelines.
  6. Or you can complete the process remotely by signing in your applicant area, and then scanning it with a copy of your  check written to either the Town and/or Triview, as notated on the permit. Then email it again to permits@tomgov.org .
