Town of Rico - Building Permits

The building permit authority for the Town of Rico, a small former mining town in Dolores County near Telluride. Unlike Dolores County itself (which has no county building department and only tracks construction through an Assessor's Office notice), the Town of Rico operates its own building permitting program under its Land Use Code, requiring permits for construction, excavation, and septic (ISDS) work within town limits.
