Development Review Center Closed to the Public: Staff on Call for Permits, Applications and Submittals

In response to national, state, and local declarations of emergency, we are temporarily changing how we provide our services, effective immediately until further notice.

All City facilities closed to the public beginning at noon on Wednesday, March 18. Due to the City’s ability to conduct most business transactions online or by phone, this step is intended to reduce risk to both community members and City staff.

The City remains committed to providing customer service during this time. Under this temporary protocol, we cannot accept in-person submittals or permit applications, or issue permits in person, nor can we respond to inquiries or engineering concerns in-person. Customers may contact us using the following information:

What is Zoning?

Zoning in Fort Collins is guided by City Plan, the City’s comprehensive plan (originally adopted on March 27, 1997 and updated every five years). From City Plan, the Fort Collins Land Use Code was created to establish development regulations. The regulations pertain to such things as the establishment of different zone districts, permitted uses in the various districts, signs, fences, home occupations, parking, landscaping, and general site layout and design.
