Parcel Numbers And Addressing

All building permit applications submitted must supply one of the following types of property information: [1] a current parcel number (preferred) or, [2] a copy of a recorded deed on which the grantee matches the owner on the permit application. If the application pertains to a lot in a recorded Subdivision, RLUP, MRD, or other approved land division process, and the parcel number has not yet been established by the Assessor's Office, the application can be accepted without a copy of the deed. NO building permits can be accepted without compliance with one of the above situations.

If you do not have a parcel number, you must first meet with the Planning Staff on Call to determine this is a legal lot before you can submit for a building permit. Applicants must provide to the Planner a copy of the recorded deed. The Planner will determine if this is a legal lot that is eleigible for a building permit or not. This research may take minutes or days depending on the situation. If the Planner determines the lot in question to be legal, the Building Department will accept the application at that time.

Parcel numbers are to be obtained from the Assessor's Office. The Building Department can also research for parcel numbers; however, we may refer you to the Assessor's office if we can not locate a current parcel number.

Addressing vacant parcels is done during the permit process. A plot plan of the entire parcel, drawn to scale, with the driveway location and access point clearly identified must be submitted. Incomplete and inaccurate plot plans will delay the assignment of an address. Each parcel within Larimer County may be subject to further requirements in mapping, GPS, and marking of the access point in order to obtain a situs address.
