What Colorado building departments require on every submission
Permit applications in Colorado are reviewed against specific submittal requirements before plan review begins. Missing or incorrect items are rejected at the counter — before any technical review happens. These are the most commonly required items on Colorado permit set submissions.
1
ARCH D 24×36 standardDenver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and most Colorado jurisdictions accept ARCH D (24×36) for residential and commercial permit submissions.
2
IBC and IRC complianceColorado adopts statewide building codes with local amendments. Drawings must reference the applicable code edition for the specific jurisdiction.
3
Licensed professional stampColorado law requires an architect or engineer of record stamp on commercial and most multi-family structural drawings.
4
Complete submissionAll required sheets must be included. Denver Building and Fire Prevention Code requires complete submissions — partial sets are not accepted.
5
Scale accuracyDenver and Front Range building departments verify scale accuracy at submission. Wrong-scale prints are rejected before review.
6
Elevation and energy documentationColorado high-altitude jurisdictions may require additional energy compliance documentation with permit sets.
