Building Department -

The City of Victor operates its Building Department pursuant to its Municipal Code and contracts with Colorado Code Consulting (building official) for plan review and inspections.

Victor municipal code requires a building permit for most construction, remodel or demolition of any building within the City limits. The following information is intended to assist you in determining what type of permit applies to your project and assist you through the permit process. Refer to Permit Requirement Quick Guide for information on projects that do/do not require permits and required document submission. If you have any question after reading this information, please contact the Building Department at 719-689-5640 or 719-689-5641.

To obtain a building permit:

4- Inspection instructions are located on the Inspection Card/Permit issued to the applicant.
5- Permits become null and void if no inspections occur for a period of one year (365 days).
6- After the building passes the Final Inspection, if applicable, the Building Official will issue a Certificate of Occupancy.
7- Changes to an existing building may or may not require a building permit.It is your responsibility to determine the need for a Building Permit prior to commencing work on the project.
8- A re-inspection fee may be assessed when inspections are requested prior to the work being ready, if the permit card is not posted, if the approved plans are not available on the job site, or when access is not provided for the inspector. No further inspections will be made until the re-inspection fee is paid.
9- Inspections are made at various stages of the building project. If you have questions regarding the necessity of inspections at particular stages, please contact the building department.

Contemporaneous Review of Electrical and Plumbing Licenses

The City of Victor Building Inspectors are authorized, and required by State law, to perform random reviews of licenses of electricians and plumbers on job sites. Electrical and Plumbing workers are required, and expected, to carry their appropriate cards showing that they are a licensed Apprentice, Journeyman or Master worker, so that when requested, they can produce it. Inspectors will verify that the cards are current, and that no more than 3 apprentices per licensed Journeyman or Master workers are on the job. Non-compliant workers, and/or apprentices without the presence of their licensed Journeyman or Master, or workers unable to produce their cards will be required to leave the job site, and the Company shall be reported to DORA.
