Town of Lake City - Building Permits (Hinsdale County Building Department)

Adopted code

The building permit authority covering the Town of Lake City, the county seat and only incorporated municipality in Hinsdale County. Building permits for construction inside Lake City town limits are processed by the Hinsdale County Building Department under the same application process used countywide, though permit fees are paid to the Town of Lake City while use tax is paid to the County. The Town's own "Permits & Applications" page lists only non-building forms (business license, short-term rental, sign, special events, encroachment, Certificate of Appropriateness), confirming building permitting itself runs through the County.

Permit process note

The Hinsdale County Building Department page states: "Please Note that Building Permits inside Lake City Town Limits must be paid to the Town of Lake City" while "Use Tax will always be paid to Hinsdale County." Under "BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS": "ARE YOU PLANNING TO BUILD IN HINSDALE COUNTY OR TOWN OF LAKE CITY? ... Complete all three of the applications below [Project Development Checklist, Building Permit Application, Use Tax Declaration] and submit to Hinsdale County Building Department by mail, email, fax or in person... BUILDING CAN NOT COMMENCE BEFORE PERMIT APPROVAL by the Building Official and payment of fees." Electrical and plumbing permits are handled separately by the State of Colorado, not the County or Town.
