Tenant Improvement / Commercial Tenant Finish Permit in Greeley, Colorado

Greeley requires a tenant improvement / commercial tenant finish permit for: Building permit required for tenant finish, interior build-out, or alteration of existing commercial space affecting structural, fire, or life-safety elements, or a change of occupancy classification, under the 2021 IBC and 2021 IEBC as adopted (Greeley Municipal Code Secs. 22-31, 22-236); Estimated project valuation must be provided at application; the building official may use the ICC Building Valuation Data square-foot table if the stated valuation appears understated (Sec. 22-34); Application submitted online via eTRAKiT (trakit.greeleygov.com/etrakit/); a 2.8% convenience fee applies to credit card payments (no fee for eCheck), effective March 14, 2022; Project is added to the City's 'Tenant finish' plan-review list — a track the City publishes as distinct from both 'New commercial project plan review' (20 working days) and 'Additions/remodels plan review' (10 working days), even though tenant finish and additions/remodels share the same 10-working-day duration; The $75 flat Minor Plan Review Fee (Fee Schedule item 7) is worded to cover 'residential and commercial additions, remodels, and utility buildings under 1,000 sq ft' — it does not separately name 'tenant finish' as a category, so it is unconfirmed whether a small tenant-finish scope qualifies for the $75 minor fee versus the 65% major plan review fee; confirm classification with Building Inspection (970-350-9830) for projects under 1,000 sq ft; No separate tenant-improvement-specific application, checklist, or plan-submittal guide is published by the City beyond the standard eTRAKiT Building Permit Application — confirmed by direct review of the Building Permits and Inspections page's 'Project Documents' resource list, which contains only residential-scoped guides; Accessible route and plumbing-fixture compliance per the adopted 2017 ICC A117.1 Accessibility Code applies to commercial tenant finish work. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Greeley Building Inspection (Community Development) at (970) 350-9830 before starting work.

Greeley, Colorado has adopted: Colorado is a home-rule state: there is no single mandatory statewide building code edition — each municipality adopts and amends its own codes. The only statewide floors are the building energy code (HB22-1362, effective 7/1/2023, requiring local governments that adopt an energy code to meet or exceed a specified electric- and solar-ready code baseline) and specific state statutes (e.g., ADU enabling legislation). Confirm your city's own adopted edition; this file documents Greeley's own program, verified directly from the Greeley Municipal Code (Title 22) via library.municode.com/co/greeley.; City of Greeley runs its own Building Inspection Division (part of Community Development) and administers its own permitting within Greeley city limits — it is not a Weld County program.

Yes. The City's Building Permits and Inspections page names 'Tenant finish' as its own plan-review track, separate from new commercial construction and from the general commercial/residential additions-remodels track, with a published 10-working-day plan review timeline. It uses the same eTRAKiT application and valuation-based fee schedule as other building permits — there is no dedicated tenant-improvement application form or fee table.
