FAQs

Permits 

Where do I upload plans?

Construction documents and/or plans are uploaded through Box and not directly into the RMS System. Once your permit is in the status you will receive an invitation to upload.

How do I pay for my permit?

Once the estimated fees submitted with your application are verified, you will receive an email containing a payment link to pay the required 50% fee from our Permit Technician.

How can I check the status of my permit application?

You can check your permit status by logging into the RMS Community. You will be able to tell if your submission requires more information, is in the plan review queue, or is in plan review.

How do I upload deferred documents to my permit application?

If you need directions on uploading revisions or deferred submittals please send an email to cdps_dfpc_permits_admin@state.co.us, include your permit number in the subject line and we will email you detailed directions.

Why does my status say "in status" and what does that mean?

Permits in status mean that the permit application has not been completed. These could be duplicate applications that may have been created inadvertently or you may need additional information in order to complete the application. Emails can be sent to cdps_dfpc_permits_admin@state.co.us if you need to help with submittal.

I made a payment but it is not showing up online.

Payments are processed manually twice daily, please allow up to 24 hours for your payment to be posted.

How long will it take to get a project through plan review and approved?

Plan review differs depending on program and the time of year you submit. Review times are typically several weeks so please plan your projects accordingly.

What if I need to make edits to a submitted permit application?

Once the application has been submitted you cannot edit it yourself. If you email us at cdps_dfpc_permits_admin@state.co.us and provide the information/edits, we can make those changes for you.

Can I pay the full permit fees due at the time of submittal?

We ask that you only pay 50% of the fees until the fees are verified to avoid overpayment of fees resulting in refunds.
