Building Permits are required in
Logan County.
Building Permits are required
for any new construction, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling, or
change of use on all dwellings, buildings, utilities, towers, and animal
structures within the unincorporated region of Logan County. Logan
County enforces the 2000 International Building Code, 2000
International Residential Code, 2000 International Plumbing Code, 2000
International Mechanical Code, and the 2000 International Fuel and Gas
Code. Please apply for a Building Permit at least 30 days before
construction is scheduled to take place. This is to ensure the minimum
setback requirements and prevent slowdowns during the project.
Flood Plain
Administration:
Our staff will check the flood plain boundary maps provided by the
Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to determine if a
property is in the flood plain. FEMA Regulations and the Logan County
Flood Plain Regulations restrict development within a 100-year
Floodplain. Proposals can be made and excepted provided that all
regulations are fallowed. A flood plain development plan must be
submitted and specific requirements satisfied before a building permit
will be issued.
Land Use
Applications:
Land use applications are made available in the office and on the
web. Please
feel free to contact our department before filling out any
applications. Pre-conferences with the department are required before
any application can be accepted and incomplete applications will not be
accepted. Please visit our
home page for application deadlines
and hearing dates. All land use applications will result in at least
one public hearing.
Planning
Commission meetings are held at 7:00 PM on the second
Tuesday of each month at the Central Services Building. Agendas are
available in the office. Calling or writing a Planning Commission
member by an applicant to discuss an item on the agenda or after an
application is submitted is a violation of ethics and in many cases
Colorado State Law. The Planning and Zoning Staff is the only avenue
available for comments before the hearing.
Board of
Adjustment meets at 6:00 PM on the second Tuesday of the
month at the Central Services building at 508 S.10th Avenue.
After an application has been submitted, it is a violation of ethics and
in many cases Colorado State Law, for an applicant to call or write a
board member to discuss an item on the agenda. The Planning and Zoning
Staff is the only avenue
available for comments before the hearing.
All land use applications that are reviewed by the Planning Commission
will need to receive a final approval or denial by the Logan County
Board of Commissioners. NOTE: The Applicant, or a
Representative, MUST be present at both hearings. If no one is
present, the request will be postponed until the next regularly
scheduled hearing. The Applicant is responsible for “Making their
Case”. It is not the responsibility of the Logan County Planning and
Zoning Department. Visual representations are very helpful in the
review process. Additional maps, photographs, and other visual aids
should be provided whenever possible.
