Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Winter Park, Colorado

Required for interior build-out, finish, or alteration of a commercial tenant space within the joint Winter Park/Fraser/Granby jurisdiction. 'Tenant Finish' is an explicit, distinct checkbox under 'Class of Work' (Section 5) on the joint Building Permit Application — listed separately from New, Addition, Alteration, Repair, Move, and Remove — confirming the Building Department treats tenant-improvement work as its own recognized permit category. However, it flows through the SAME joint application form, the SAME 2021 IBC-based Town Code 6-1-2 review, and the SAME valuation-based Table 1-11-2B fee schedule as new commercial construction — there is no standalone TI-specific application, fee table, or published review-timeline SLA.

When you need this permit

  • Same joint Building Permit Application (Towns of Winter Park, Fraser and Granby), with 'Tenant Finish' checked under Class of Work (Section 5) and 'Commercial' checked under Use of Building (Section 4)
  • Gross square footage of the tenant space/building portion being finished, plus Construction Type and Occupancy Type, per the application's 'All Other Buildings and Structures' fields
  • Valuation of the tenant finish work is captured via the application's 'Valuation of Alterations, Repairs and Remodels' field (actual cost to owner — materials and labor) for the 'All Other Buildings and Structures' column, feeding the same Table 1-11-2B fee schedule as every other Building Division permit type
  • Fire suppression/alarm system plans (if the tenant space has or will have one) must be separately reviewed by East Grand Fire Protection District No. 4's Fire Prevention Office — the District's own notice specifically instructs applicants to contact the District ASAP 'before any remodel work is started on any building that has an existing fire sprinkler system,' which is directly on point for finish work inside an already-sprinklered commercial shell
  • Buildings/spaces must meet the same IBC Chapter 11 accessibility requirements (Town Code 6-1-2, Section 1102.1) as new commercial construction
  • Licensed Colorado design professional's stamped documents required under the same structural triggers as other Building Division permits if the tenant finish involves structural work (non-conventional framing, load-bearing changes, etc.)
  • Contractor Insurance Affidavit and Notification of Sales Tax Liability Agreement required submittal items, same as other Building Division permits
  • Sales/Use Tax Audit Gate applies identically before final inspection/certificate of occupancy or completion (Town Code 6-1-2, Section 110.3.12)
  • Electrical work inside the tenant space is a SEPARATE permit filed directly with the Colorado State Electrical Board, not with this Building Division

Tips

  • 'Tenant Finish' is checked as its own distinct Class of Work on the same joint application used for every other Building Division permit — don't assume it requires a categorically different form or process from a general commercial building permit.
  • If the shell building already has a fire sprinkler system, contact East Grand Fire Protection District No. 4 ASAP before starting tenant-finish remodel work — this is called out specifically, by name, in the District's own applicant notice.
  • No separate TI fee schedule exists — valuation is set by actual documented cost of the finish work (materials and labor), run through the same Table 1-11-2B schedule as any other alteration or repair permit.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — East Grand Fire Protection District No. 4's own applicant notice specifically instructs applicants to contact the District as soon as possible before starting any remodel work on a building that already has a fire sprinkler system, separate from the Building Division's own permit review.

Not a categorically separate application or fee schedule — but 'Tenant Finish' is an explicit, distinct checkbox under Class of Work on the same joint Winter Park/Fraser/Granby Building Permit Application, and it goes through the same Table 1-11-2B valuation-based fee schedule and 2021 IBC-based Town Code 6-1-2 review as any other commercial building permit.
