Published scheduling rules

  • SAFEbuilt (not Town staff directly) performs plan review and inspections for Wellington — direct SAFEbuilt correspondence (resubmittals, inspection scheduling) to their published channels (safebuiltcoloradoplanreview@safebuilt.com for plans; 970-674-1036 or 866-671-1036 for inspections), not the Town's general line. (Residential Building Permit (New Construction))
  • Wellington contracts building-department functions (plan review and inspections) out to SAFEbuilt — direct plan resubmittals and inspection scheduling calls go to SAFEbuilt (safebuiltcoloradoplanreview@safebuilt.com; 970-674-1036 / 866-671-1036), not the Town's general line, even though applications and payments are still processed through the Town's Community Core/Connect portal. (General)
  • Wellington splits ALL permits into three tracks with materially different processes: 'Permits With Plan Review' (Residential Addition, PV System, Accessory Structure, Basement Finish, Deck, Pergola/Patio Cover, Pole Barn, Shed — full SAFEbuilt review, 5-business-day target), 'One Stop Permits — No Plan Review' (Re-roof, Furnace/AC, Water Heater, Siding, Windows, misc. trade permits, Demolition, Fence, Construction Trailer — pay and schedule inspection directly, no published SLA), and 'Zoning Permits' (small Sheds under 120 sq ft/10 ft height, Fences — reviewed by Planning, not Building). (General)
