Published scheduling rules

  • The Permit Center's walk-in hours are unusually limited: Monday 1:00-4:30 p.m. and Thursday 8:00-11:30 a.m. ONLY (closed Fridays) — email/phone is the primary channel outside those windows, with a stated 24-hour response target on the next business day. (General)
  • No numeric plan-review or permit-issuance turnaround is published for ANY permit type covered in this file — Colorado's home-rule status means there is no statewide clock, and Littleton's own site publishes only post-issuance inspection-scheduling SLAs (next business day, up to 7 days out), not a pre-issuance plan-review timeline. Confirm current caseload timing directly with the Permit Center (303-795-3751 / permits@littletonco.gov) before committing to a client-facing schedule. (General)
