Disclaimer

Not affiliated with Boulder County

boulderpermitting.com is an independent proof-of-concept built and published by a private individual. It is not a product of, endorsed by, operated on behalf of, or reviewed by Boulder County, the Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting Office, any Boulder County department or official, or any other federal, state, or municipal entity. No government data, branding, or official determinations are represented here; any resemblance to County templates or materials is incidental.

Not legal, planning, or professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal guidance, professional planning advice, architectural or engineering advice, surveying advice, real-estate advice, or a substitute for consulting a licensed attorney, architect, engineer, surveyor, land-use planner, or the Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting Office directly. Outputs from the AI tools — generated concept images, chat responses, site briefings, PDFs, and any other material produced here — are illustrative only and may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or materially wrong. Large language models and image-generation models are known to hallucinate, misread source documents, and fabricate citations.

Do not rely on this site for decisions

Do not rely on anything on this site as evidence that a permit will be issued, that a particular design will be approved, that a particular parcel is buildable, or that any specific interpretation of the Land Use Code, Comprehensive Plan, Fire Code, or related regulations is correct. In particular, and without limitation, do not use this site as the basis for:

• purchasing or selling real property;
• selecting or committing to a design direction (massing, materials, siting, height, setbacks, or any other design decision);
• retaining or paying architects, engineers, surveyors, contractors, or other professionals;
• predicting the outcome of a Site Plan Review, variance, appeal, zoning change, or any other permitting process;
• assessing wildfire risk, water supply obligations, access adequacy, floodplain status, habitat constraints, or any other life-safety or environmental requirement; or
• representing the position, intent, or likely decision of Boulder County or any of its staff.

Before any consequential decision — financial, design, or regulatory — verify everything against the official record and retain appropriate licensed professionals.

The County has the final say

The Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting Office is the authoritative source for zoning designations, Land Use Code interpretation, Site Plan Review determinations, Fire Code requirements, variance decisions, and any other permitting matter within unincorporated Boulder County. The County’s official record — not this site, not anything a tool here produces, and not anything its author says — governs. If this site and the official record disagree, the official record controls.
