Building division operates weekdays 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (Town's FAQ page prints this as '8:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m.', which is evidently a typo for 5:00 p.m. given the Town Hall's own general business hours; noted honestly rather than silently corrected without flagging). Inspection request line (303) 450-8748 — call by 4:00 p.m. for next-business-day inspection. Town Hall main line (303) 421-7282.
