1. Do I need a building permit?

Any new construction, demolitions, or structural, electrical, mechanical, or plumbing changes (whether interior or exterior) to existing buildings within town limits require consultation with the Planning Department. This includes installation of fences or sheds, as well as roof removal or repair. For further questions, please call 719-581-1028.

2. How do I pay my water bill?

You can pay online, by credit/debit card in person or over the phone (719-581-1018), by mail (Water Department, PO Box 2002, Buena Vista, CO 81211), or you can drop off your payment in the silver drop box on the sidewalk south of Town Hall (210 E Main Street). Please be aware that the Town does not accept sewer payments, as that system is run by the Buena Vista Sanitation District.

4. What do I need to do if I want to serve alcohol at a special event?

Unless the event at which you plan to serve alcohol is strictly private, you will need a Special Event Liquor License. You must submit your application to the Town Clerk at least 30 days prior to the event. Please go to the Town Clerk page and consult the Nonprofit Special Event Liquor Permit Guidelines for more details.
