Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permits for my pole barn?
In most cases, yes, you will need permits for your pole barn construction in Colorado. Permit requirements vary by county and municipality, as well as by the size, type, and intended use of your building. Generally, any structure over a certain square footage (often 200 square feet) or any building that will have electrical, plumbing, or be used for human occupancy will require permits.
Agricultural buildings may have different requirements than residential or commercial structures.
