Tips

  • You need the STATE demolition permit approved and in hand first — the City's own application form requires a copy of the approved state permit as a condition of applying, mirroring the Durango model.
  • The City's demolition permit fee ($15.00) is one of the lowest flat fees in the schedule, but it is only valid for 30 days — don't let the window lapse before starting work.
  • The demolition application specifically asks you to disclose which service utilities (gas, plumbing, electrical) are connected — have disconnection status confirmed before applying.
