Great news for Wheat Ridge residents planning to install a new fence shed or deck this summer!  The Wheat Ridge City Council unanimously adopted changes to the Building Code at the May 10^th City Council meeting.  These changes will allow residents and business owners to build a fence up to 6 feet high, install a shed less than 120 square feet or update the siding on their property without getting a permit.  In addition various permit fees have been reduced.   These changes will attract businesses, encourage reinvestment in the community and support the revitalization effort in the City.

It is a great time to begin a new home or business improvement project!

The City has provided detailed information on the changes at the following Link.
