Montezuma County Planning and Zoning Department

county

Montezuma County, Colorado does not have a building department and does not issue Certificates of Occupancy; building permits are not required for construction in the unincorporated county, so re-roofing work there requires no county roofing permit. Land-use matters such as addressing, septic and driveway permits are handled by the county Planning and Zoning Department in Cortez. Projects inside incorporated municipalities such as the City of Cortez are permitted by the municipal building department instead.

Permit process note
Montezuma County does not issue Certificates of Occupancy and does not have a building department, so no county building permit is issued for roofing or other construction in the unincorporated county. The county does issue address, septic and driveway (access) permits through its Planning & Zoning, Septic & Environmental Health, Addressing & GIS, and Road & Bridge departments, much of which can be completed through the county's online permit portal.
Inspection requirements
Montezuma County may require some projects to use the services of a qualified inspection agency to perform inspections during construction, per the City of Cortez, whose building department works with the Montezuma County Planning Department.
