How long does a demolition permit take to review in Broomfield?

The City and County of Broomfield does not publish a demolition-specific entry on its Current Plan Review times list (Review Timelines page / Building FAQ). Demolition submittals (Plans, Site Plan, Approved State Permit) are reviewed by the same Building Division process as other building permits, so the governing published plan-review timeline — 7 to 8 weeks (35-40 days), the same figure anchoring the New House / Residential Building Permit — applies. These are stated as goals, not guarantees.

Tips

Demolition is charged a flat $100 fee rather than the valuation-based trade fee schedule used for building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits.
An 'Approved State Permit' is a required submittal document — confirm current State of Colorado demolition/asbestos-abatement requirements (Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Air Pollution Control Division) before applying, since Broomfield's own page does not itself detail the state process.
Broomfield's published 'Current Plan Review times' (Review Timelines page and Building FAQ QID=329) list only these categories: like-for-like A/C-furnace-water-heater/window-door replacements, re-roofs, water heater/furnace/A/C installs, solar PV, basement finish, windows-with-modifications, exterior residential, signs, residential additions/remodels, tenant finish, new commercial, new house, and EV charging — there is no separate 'Demolition' line item, so the governing figure is the same 'New House' plan-review timeline (7 to 8 weeks / 35-40 days) that anchors the verified Residential Building Permit, since demolition submittals (Plans, Site Plan, Approved State Permit) are reviewed through the same Building Division process.
