Moffat County building permits run through a regional department

Moffat County and the City of Craig have folded their building work into one office. Permitting and inspections all run through the Craig/Moffat Regional Building Department, so a project miles out in the rural county still circles back to the regional office at Craig City Hall for its permit and inspection questions.

Knowing where the calls land saves time before you start dialing. The same office expects contractors to be registered with the county, and plumbers and electricians to be registered with the State of Colorado on top of that.

A clear first call describes the job in plain terms: what is being built or changed, where the parcel is, who will do the work, and whether septic, driveway, electrical, or plumbing work is part of it. The plainer the description, the faster the office can tell you which path applies.

Permit history runs through the same department, which is where it matters most for a buyer. A shop, addition, fence, retaining wall, or septic job can look finished and still raise the real question: whether the right permit and inspection path was followed when the work went in.
