Town/County Planning

The Town of Silverton and San Juan County, although separate governing entities, share joint planning and building departments.

The Planning Department is located in Town Hall and is responsible for the administration and updating of the Town’s Zoning and Subdivision Regulations. The Department also is responsible for grant writing and administration for town-wide projects, and maintains the Town’s Geographic Information System (GIS). 

The Building Department, also with offices in Town Hall, provides professional building inspection and permitting services to all areas of San Juan County to ensure compliance with building codes as amended and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners.

Building

The Buidling Department works to provide timely, effective, consistent, and competent plan review and inspections of structures in San Juan County while ensuring safety and compliance with the building codes.

Please contact 970-387-5522 ext. 15 with any questions.

Planning

The vision of the County’s citizens is embodied in the Town of Silverton and San Juan County Master Plan  (CMP), the keystone to the County’s growth management program.  Planning facilitates implementation of the CMP through review of land use applications, which are presented to the Board of County Commissioners as the decision-making body. 

Please contact 970-387-5522 ext. 16 with any questions.
