Community Development

The Community Development Department provides planning, zoning, and building services for the Town of Estes Park. These services are intended to guide long-term planning efforts and development activities within the community to ensure safety, prosperity, and the protection of the Town's natural resources.

Planning and zoning services use the Estes Park Development Code as the governing document. An update to the Development Code is currently underway, with an opportunity for public feedback via this online survey. Building services are governed by the 2021 I-Codes (IBC, IRC, etc), plus local amendments.

The Community Development Department's goal is to provide excellent customer service in a timely manner.
