Prowers County Land Use Department

Adopted code

The land use authority for unincorporated Prowers County, Colorado, based in Lamar. The county issues zoning permits rather than building permits and has not adopted a building code, so roofing work in the unincorporated county is not subject to local building-code enforcement. The City of Lamar operates its own building department within city limits.

Permit process note
Zoning permits are secured from the Prowers County Land Use Department prior to the construction, movement, conversion, extension, enlargement, or structural alteration of buildings or other structures in all zoning districts. Zoning permits are not building permits; they govern proper uses in each zone district and review setback, density, floodplain, and performance standards.
Inspection requirements
Prowers County is listed by the Colorado Division of Housing among jurisdictions without building departments, so local building-code inspection capability is limited or absent.
Adopted code
None. The Colorado Energy Office statewide code-adoption listing shows "No Building Codes" for Prowers County.
