Permitting
You may email permit applications, submittals, and questions to 1stop@brightonco.gov. Please email Contractor's License applications and Security Guard applications to 1stop@brightonco.gov as well. If you do not have the ability to email, you may drop off your materials at the Permitting counter in City Hall.
To speak with a member of our team or schedule an appointment at City Hall, please contact the Building Division at 303-655-2017 or call your Permit Technician directly. Some employees may be working remotely, so please leave a detailed message and we will respond as quickly as possible.
We will assist you with all construction-related permitting and licensing, including all contractor's licensing, building permits, temporary and event permits, right of way permits, bonding, as well as inspections and general development coordination.
