Change of Use / Change of Occupancy in Haxtun, Colorado

Haxtun does not publish a standalone 'Change of Use' or 'Change of Occupancy' permit application — the Town's Building Department page and Building Permit Application form cover general construction permitting. In Colorado, a final Certificate of Occupancy is generally contingent on satisfying all local departments with applicable jurisdiction (which may include Fire, in addition to Building). A use/occupancy change is presumed to be processed through the Town's general Building Permit Application; contact the Building Department to confirm requirements and applicable code edition for a specific project.
