Address
612 E. Main Street, Silver Cliff, CO 81252 (mailing: PO Box 154, Silver Cliff, CO 81252)
Phone
719-783-3034
Office hours
Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Building & Zoning page); the Residential Building Permit Packet's inspection-request instructions separately list Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. at Town Hall — both ranges are published by the Town on different documents and are reproduced here rather than reconciled. Town Hall general line 719-783-2651 (per excavation/driveway permit forms) in addition to the Building & Zoning direct line 719-783-3034. Current Building & Zoning Official listed as Chris McKellip on the live webpage; the downloadable Building Permit Application PDF (dated 10/2023) lists a prior official, Isaac Selden (cell 719-371-8215); the Residential/Commercial code packets (also on file) list a still-earlier official, Roger Camper — reflecting Silver Cliff's very small-town staff turnover. The live webpage listing is treated as current.
