About the Community Safety Division

As of June 15, 2020, the LFRA Community Safety Division office is open to the public Monday through Thursday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. The building is closed Fridays due to COVID-19-related budget cuts, but CSD employees are working Fridays and are available to meet with customers. Schedule Friday appointments at least 24 hours in advance by calling (970) 962-2497.

LFRA is continuing to review and issue permits and conduct inspections for fire-protection systems and new building construction, using a process that is similar to our normal procedure.  For information on how to apply for construction permits, please click here.
