  • Minor additions/modifications/repairs/remodels require a lighter document set: Site Plan, Proposed Footing/Foundation Design Drawings (may or may not require an engineer's stamp, per Building Official determination), Elevation drawings, Floor plan, Framing details
  • Names of General, Plumbing, and Mechanical contractors required for both tiers — all must hold applicable City or County licensing
  • A property owner may self-perform work if the structure is/will be their actual primary residence Owner-builder
  • Applications received on or after July 1, 2026 are subject to the 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code based on the property's location on the Colorado Resiliency Code Map

Tips

  • Whether your project is treated as a 'major addition' (fuller document set, likely requiring a stamped engineer foundation design) or a 'minor addition/remodel' (lighter document set) is a Building-Official judgment call based on project scope — confirm which tier applies before preparing plans.
  • Decks 200 sq ft or less, not more than 30 inches above grade, and not attached to the dwelling are permit-exempt in the City of Craig — check this exemption before assuming a permit is required for a small deck project.

Frequently asked questions

Foundation/footing drawings for minor additions, modifications, repairs, or remodeling projects 'may or may not' require a Colorado-licensed engineer's stamp per the department's own checklist — this is determined case by case, unlike major additions and new construction, which always require a stamped foundation design.
