Delta County Planning and Community Development

Adopted code

Delta County, Colorado has adopted a Land Use Code but has not adopted building codes in the unincorporated areas of the county. Generally, no building permits are required and no certificates of occupancy are issued for construction in unincorporated Delta County, with the exception of the Highway 92 and Highway 50 Overlay Districts, where development requires a building permit. Roofing work in the unincorporated county is therefore not subject to a county reroof permit outside those overlay districts, though development must still comply with Land Use Code standards.
