Homeowner Permit Information

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.
