Tips

  • Electrical work in Gypsum requires its own standalone permit — do not assume it is bundled into a general Building Permit application the way it is in some other Colorado jurisdictions.
  • Smaller-scope electrical work not requiring plans (e.g., a panel upgrade) can use a one-time permit application rather than the full plan-set submittal process.
