Denver’s New Office of Permitting Promises Faster Turnarounds
A major update is underway in the City of Denver. The new mayor has announced the launch of a dedicated Office of Permitting, designed to cut down wait times and reduce bottlenecks in the permitting process. Most notably, the initiative includes a bold new promise: if your permit isn’t issued within 180 days, you’ll get your money back.
Although the structure of this office is still being finalized, the goal is clear - faster service, greater transparency, and more accountability for all types of projects, from small commercial remodels to major residential developments.
The Burnham Nationwide Denver team is keeping a close eye on these changes. As industry experts in permit expediting and code consulting, they’re ready to help clients adjust and maximize the new system as it rolls out. Even as processes speed up, code accuracy and due diligence remain critical - and that’s where Burnham Nationwide delivers.
“Quicker turnarounds are great, but speed without accuracy can lead to delays down the line,” said Aaron Jagiel, Senior Project Manager at Burnham Nationwide Denver. “Our job is to ensure your permit submissions are complete, correct, and positioned for approval the first time.”

What’s Next for Colorado’s Permitting Scene
The Denver region is experiencing a wave of growth and policy change. From major rezoning efforts to discussions around water and housing, development in Colorado is evolving—and fast. Builders and design professionals must stay informed and adaptable.
A key example: Colorado’s legislature is now considering policies that address the collision between affordable housing expansion and water scarcity. This growing concern could influence how, where, and when future projects are approved. Learn more from The Colorado Sun.
