Do I need a permit for a fence, shed, carport...etc?: It’s not a "permit" but rather an application for approval. If a permit is needed after you are approved, you will take your signed application from Pueblo West Metropolitan District to Pueblo Reginal Building for your permit. Pueblo West Metro COA is covenant enforcement and Pueblo Regional building is code enforcement.

1. Can my views change?: Zoning in Pueblo West is usually, but not always, designated by tract. It is important to know what the zoning restrictions are for your property as well as properties near you. Remember that if nearby properties are not currently developed, they will probably not remain undeveloped indefinitely.

You should find out how they are zoned to see what potential developments occur. For instance, if you do not wish to live near a commercial area, then it is wise not to build or move into an area adjacent to a B-4 or I-2 zone. It is also wise to recognize that the view from your property may change as further development occurs. The vistas now seen from your property may be reduced or eliminated with the development of surrounding properties.

2. Where's my property line?: You may be provided with a plat of your property, but unless the land has been recently surveyed and pins placed by a licensed surveyor, you cannot assume that the plat or existing property pins are accurate. Many of the original property pins are still in existence on properties. They are made of rebar and can often be located with the use of a metal detector. If your pins cannot be located, then a survey may be necessary. Fences that separate properties are often misaligned with the property lines, so it is important to know where your property pins are located in order to avoid problems later.

The track, block and lot number is a legal description of your property.

4. How do I find my track, block and lot number: You can find it on the assessor's web site by the property address or contact the Committee of Architecture.

6. Where do I get a plot plan?: You can request a copy of a recorded plat with property measurements so that you may draw one yourself, have someone draw one for you or you may try getting one from Pueblo County Planning and Zoning.

7. Where can I get a recorded Plat?: Email COA Admin at publiccom@pueblowestmetro.us to request one or you may contact Pueblo County Terrence Birch (bircht@pueblocounty.us)

8. Has my application been approved?: Following the Committee of Architecture meetings held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, a COA team member will email you an approved application Friday afternoon if you provided your email address. https://pueblowestmetro.com/129/Agendas-Minutes
