Building Permits
New construction permits requires an appointment. Please email bennettbuilding@bennett.co.us for an appointment.
The Town of Bennett is pleased to offer a "One Stop" building permit for certain projects. If you have questions if you need a permit you can download the handout below or watch this video.
Once payment has been received, a receipt, permit and permit card will be completed and work may commence.
Failure to obtain a permit prior to beginning work will result in the permit fees doubling.
Permit Fee Information
Please see the Town of Bennett Schedule of Fees for typical fees associated with obtaining a building permit from the Town of Bennett. Please note, however, each project is specific and final fees are not determined until a complete building permit application has been submitted and reviewed by Town staff.
Typical taxes associated with building permits:
- 2% Use Tax which is calculated based on half of the total valuation of the project
- 0.25% Arapahoe County open space sales & use tax which is calculated based on half of the total valuation for the projects within Arapahoe County.
Many building permits require a detailed plan before your permit will be approved. We have some helpful guides to our most common building projects.
