Tips
- Milliken's Building Department is staffed and operated by SAFEbuilt (formerly locally branded ProCode Inc.) — the Town remains the permitting/code authority, but day-to-day plan review and inspections are handled from the same regional SAFEbuilt/ProCode office (39 S. Parish Avenue, Suite 220, Johnstown, CO) that also serves the Town of Johnstown.
- Building valuation in Milliken is computed via a 1997 UBC-derived per-square-foot cost table (e.g., $160/sq ft above-grade floors), not the ICC Building Valuation Data table used by many other Colorado jurisdictions — budget using the Town's own Chapter 18 fee schedule rather than a generic ICC valuation estimate.
- Give the building inspector at least one full working day's notice for inspections, per the Town's own Residential Building Permit application notice.
