Additional Permit Applications

Development in San Miguel County may initiate with one of several different permit types issued by different departments or jurisdictions as determined by your project sequencing.

Most often, the first Department with which you will communicate will be the San Miguel County Planning Department, however, it may be the case that you will need to contact another office first. 

All Community Development applications can be applied for through SmartGov..
