Property Development

Helpful Forms and Handouts

Whether it’s building a fence or a new structure, subdividing your property or rezoning for a different use, the Community Planning and Development Department (CPD) is available to assist you with your project. Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CPD planners are available to guide owners and developers of residential and commercial projects through the development process. CPD staff can meet to review proposed projects, suggest alternatives to help avoid any problems before construction begins, and ensure that the City’s requirements are met.

The Planner of the Day (POD) can assist you with any questions on a particular topic. Our goal is to meet early on in your project when recommendations, suggestions and requirements can be discussed with minimal cost or time impacts. Smaller projects such as decks, fences and detached accessory buildings can typically be reviewed at the permit counter, and a permit can be issued within a 24-hour timeframe.

Larger projects like expanding or constructing a new building, rezoning a property or subdividing lots require more time to process. Please contact the POD to schedule a planning consultation where we can give you accurate information to allow you to decide what you need to do to make your project as successful as possible.

Please contact the POD by stopping in at the front counter next to the Building Department’s Permits Counter, calling 303-987-7571, or emailing any inquiries to POD@lakewood.org
