News from Denver CPD that may impact building and development projects
2017 fee changes
Affordable housing fee in effect - new application required for every building permit
As of January 1, new development in Denver is subject to a fee ranging from $0.40 to $1.70/sq. ft., depending on project type. This money is earmarked by a city ordinance to support affordable housing development and preservation.
Starting in 2017, every applicant for a building permit MUST include an affordable housing fee application with their submittal package.
Commercial and multifamily projects currently undergoing site development plan review may become subject to the fee if there are major changes requiring a resubmittal.
