Steamboat Springs Urban Renewal Authority

The Steamboat Springs Urban Renewal Area (URA) was created in 2004, which authorized a tax-increment finance district encompassing the base area of the Steamboat Ski Resort (the Mountain Plan Area).

Development Review

Submittals to the city for development are required to comply with municipal criteria and standards. Submittals include building permits, drainage reports, geohazard reports, construction plans, grading/erosion control plans, and street and storm sewer plans and profiles. Submissions can be made online through the CityView Portal.

Inspections

The department conducts inspections of all construction projects within the city. Projects include new private development, redevelopment and city funded capital improvement projects. The inspectors also provide the initial contact and response to citizen requests and inquiries relating to flooding, erosion, and infrastructure evaluation.

Due to snow restricting visibility of site improvements, inspections are not conducted between November 1 and May 1.
