How to schedule

Inspections are requested through the building department below.

Address
144 Main Street, Pierce, CO 80650 (PO Box 57)

Office hours
Town Hall main line (970) 834-2851, fax (970) 834-2755, per the Town's Building Permit Application form. The Town's general Contact Us page lists the same address/phone but no posted office hours; the Planning and Zoning department directs all building-permit, addition, new-construction, annexation, and remodel questions to the Town Hall main line. Inspections (not permit intake) are scheduled directly with SAFEbuilt Inc. at 970-674-1036 or 1-866-671-1036, calls before 7:30 a.m. receive same-day inspection, after 7:30 a.m. scheduled for the next working day. Note: the Contact Us page renders the street address as '144 Main Avenue' while the Town Hall page and the Building Permit Application PDF both render it as '144 Main St./144 Main Street' — treated as the same address, minor inconsistency in the Town's own CMS.

Published scheduling rules

  • Pierce is a small statutory town in Weld County that contracts plan review and inspections to SAFEbuilt Inc.; permit intake, application questions, and fee payment go through Town Hall (970-834-2851), while inspection SCHEDULING is a separate call to SAFEbuilt directly (970-674-1036 or 1-866-671-1036, before 7:30 a.m. for same-day service). (General)
  • Permits become null and void if work is not ready for first inspection within 180 days of issuance, or if more than 180 days elapse between inspections, or if work substantially ceases — track this deadline carefully since Pierce's inspection scheduling runs through a separate contracted provider (SAFEbuilt) rather than Town Hall. (General)
