- Code reference
- This is codified in Brighton Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 15 (Buildings and Construction), particularly Article 15-28 (International Residential Code adoption and amendments).
- Building
- One-story detached accessory structures (e.g., sheds, playhouses) ≤ 200 sq ft floor area (zoning must still be met); retaining walls ≤ 4 ft high (footing to top); painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops, and similar finish work; prefabricated swimming pools < 24" deep; swing set
- Electrical
- Listed plug-and-cord temporary decorative lighting; replacement of a circuit breaker (same location/capacity); low-voltage wiring/devices (< 25 volts, ≤ 50 watts); minor repairs like changing bulbs or same-location fixture/outlet replacement.
- Notes on exemptions and triggers
- The FAQ lists slightly varying shed thresholds (e.g., < 120 sq ft in one place); the dedicated permit guide (200 sq ft) is the more specific reference.
- Code reference
- Any structural alteration, enlargement, or repair affecting the structure generally triggers a permit under the broad “alter/repair” language of R105.1 (no separate valuation-based threshold or explicit “structural trigger” list beyond this).

- Use tax is 3.75% applied to 50% of the project valuation (materials + labor).

What fencing projects cover
Fencing in the Denver metro includes privacy and perimeter fences in wood, vinyl, ornamental metal, or chain link, plus gates and hardware. Post setting must account for frost and soil conditions. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates fence packages and related site work. Cost is project-specific and depends on linear footage, height, material, and grade.
text
Lines, utilities, and grade
Confirm property lines before digging. Utility locates are required before post holes. Sloped lots may need stepped or racked panels.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
Fence height and placement are often controlled by City and County of Denver zoning rules; taller or street-facing fences may need zoning permits through Development Services. HOA design rules can add separate approvals. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades when electrical gate operators or other regulated work is included.
text
What buyers should prepare
Preferred height and material, gate locations, survey if available, and HOA guidelines.

Do I need a Denver permit for a new fence?
Often depending on height and location. Check CPD/zoning requirements before install, especially for street-facing or taller fences.
Who handles fencing permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and related specialty trades when needed. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Should I have a survey?
A survey or clear line evidence reduces neighbor boundary disputes before digging post holes.

Gates need level hardware planes; sloping sites may need adjusted posts or custom gate work.
What information helps define scope?
Linear footage, height, material, gate count, grade photos, HOA rules, and city or county.
