Tips

  • Do not attempt to apply for a plumbing permit through the City of Delta Building Department — it will not process it. Go directly to the State of Colorado DORA Plumbing Board at (303) 894-2300.
  • Coordinate timing carefully: the City's own framing inspection generally cannot be made until all plumbing, mechanical, and electrical rough-ins (including the State's plumbing rough-in) are complete and signed off.
