The Community Planning &amp; Permitting publishes quarterly water quality reports on the Boulder County website.<\/p>\n<p>Funding of $152,000 for this initiative comes from a combination of federal grants, state matching funds, and the Boulder County General Fund. The Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation during the 2025 budget session.<\/p>\n<h3>Timeline<\/h3>\n<p>According to Emily Chen, director of Community Planning &amp; Permitting, this program served 24% more residents in 2025 compared to the previous year. &#8220;We&#8217;re seeing unprecedented demand from communities across Boulder County, particularly in Erie and the surrounding area,&#8221; Emily Chen said.<\/p>\n<p>Residents in the Erie area should note that service boundaries may differ from city limits. For properties in unincorporated Boulder County, contact Community Planning &amp; Permitting at (303) 441-7913 to verify eligibility and requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Resources<\/h3>\n<p>Climate considerations are central to this effort. Boulder County&#8217;s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 24% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.<\/p>\n<p>The Community Planning &amp; Permitting processed over 4,242 applications last year, with an average processing time of 21 business days. Staff are available at the Erie office Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boulder County Assessor&#8217;s Office reminds qualifying seniors that Colorado&#8217;s property tax exemption portability provision allows them to transfer their exemption to a new primary residence within the county.
