Custer renovations may need a residential other permit
Plenty of home projects are not new construction at all, and the permit system has a spot for them. The “Residential Other Permit” covers additions, renovations, and other changes to existing residential structures that no other permit type already handles.
That bucket is worth knowing before you remodel a cabin, push out a wall on a house near Westcliffe, or rework an older home on a parcel outside town. When a project changes the structure, the layout, or how a space is used, Planning and Zoning is the office that can tell you which permit fits.
The broad name is deliberate. It gives the county one clear place to review home work that is neither a brand-new dwelling nor a simple accessory building like a shed.
When the work is done, tuck the permit record into your house file alongside the deed and surveys. Future buyers and insurers tend to ask whether improvements were done on paper, and a complete record answers the question before it slows a sale. The permit types and forms live on the Custer County Building Permits and Applications page.
