County-level authority
Municipal authorities
Central City - Building, Historic Preservation and Planning
The building permit authority for Central City, Gilpin County seat and a National Historic Landmark District. The City's Forms, Permits and Applications page states: "SAFEBuilt is the Building Official for Central City. All applications and inspections should be completed through the online portal Community Core." Properties within the Historic District additionally require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission for exterior work, reviewed separately from the building permit.
City of Idaho Springs Building Department
The building permit authority for the City of Idaho Springs, Colorado. No structure may be erected or altered without a city building permit; residential re-roofs are handled as fast-turnaround One Stop permits, all contractors working in the city must be licensed with the city, and SAFEbuilt provides technical and commercial plan review support.
Town of Empire - Building Inspector
The building permit authority for the Town of Empire, a small home rule town at the foot of Berthoud Pass in Clear Creek County. Empire administers its own building regulations rather than deferring to Clear Creek County: the County's Building Department states its services apply only "within the unincorporated areas of Clear Creek County," and Empire's own Ordinance 170 (Land Use & Zoning Regulations) designates a Town Building Inspector who administers and enforces the Town's building code, which adopts the 1991 editions of the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, and National Electrical Code.
Town of Georgetown Building Department
The building permit authority for the Town of Georgetown, the county seat of Clear Creek County. Building permit applications are submitted to and fees paid to the Town, but the Town contracts its building division services — plan review, inspections, and code enforcement — to SAFEbuilt. Because Georgetown is part of a National Historic Landmark District, many projects, including exterior/roof work, must also be reviewed by the Design Review Commission (DRC) for a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit is issued.
Town of Silver Plume - Building Permits
The building permit authority for the Town of Silver Plume, a Home Rule town of about 200 residents in Clear Creek County, part of the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic District. The Town issues its own building permits, including a dedicated permit application specifically for roof-replacement projects, under its Land Use Code.
