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
Not established by a county-side source. The Colorado Energy Office statewide building-code adoption listing reports "No Building Codes" for Prowers County — the survey's affirmative answer, from a state listing rather than a county instrument — and the Colorado Division of Housing lists Prowers County among jurisdictions without building departments. No county-side instrument or publication stating the county's adoption status has been read. Confirm the current adopted code with the Prowers County Land Use Department.
