Update: Permit Transfers and Inspection Requests

Posted: January 17, 2026

Greetings Pueblo County Building Division Contractors,

Thank you for your patience during these first few weeks as we launch the new Building Division. We are currently migrating thousands of active permits from the former Pueblo Regional Building Department (PRBD) into our jurisdiction.

To help clarify the process for your active projects, please follow the guidelines below:

1. Projects NOT requiring a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.)

If your PRBD permit does not require a C.O. upon completion:

Action Required: None. You do not need to create a new permit or transfer one into our system.
Process: We will continue processing your permit using the existing PRBD system.
Inspections: Schedule inspections via PuebloMeansBusiness.com/Request-Inspection (preferred) or by calling (719) 583-6100.

2. Projects requiring a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.)

If your current permit does require a C.O. upon completion:

Action Required: These projects must be transferred into the Pueblo County Building Division system.
Status: We have already migrated most of these permits. If you haven’t received yours yet, we are still working through the queue.
Questions: If your project falls into this category and you need an update, please reach out to our office directly at (719) 583-6100 or by emailing permits@pueblocounty.us.
Inspections: When you have access to these permits, you can schedule inspections within the permit itself (preferred), via PuebloMeansBusiness.com/Request-Inspection, or by calling us.

Whenever you schedule an inspection via the Request an Inspection link on our website, or by calling it in, you will need to provide the following information.

Property Address: So we know where to send an inspector.
CLR #: So we can verify you are registered with us and confirm that you, and our inspectors, are covered by insurance in the rare occurrence that an accident happens while they are on site.
Permit #: So we can locate the correct permit in which to schedule the inspection. (Many addresses have multiple permits, so just the address won’t suffice).
Inspection Type: So we know what kind of inspector to send and so that they can make sure they have everything they need with them to perform the inspection.

Tip: How to Remember Your CLR # You will need your CLR # every time you request an inspection. Understanding how it’s built makes it much easier to memorize. Using CLR-25-222 as an example: CLR: Contractor’s License Registration 25: The year issued (e.g., 2025) – right now this number can only be 25 (for 2025) or 26 (for 2026) 222: Your unique registration sequence for that year Pro-tip: If you can remember the year your permit was issued (25 or 26), you usually only need to memorize the last number(s), in this case 222!

Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible. We appreciate your partnership as we build this new department to serve you better.

Best Regards,

Pueblo County Building Division
