Source: Adams County, Building Permits Eye On Adams (ArcGIS layer), read 23 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The county's layer leaves most permits marked Permit Issued after the work is done, so no finished share is shown.
Permits the Adams County Building Division issues for unincorporated land only, such as Welby, Sherrelwood, Berkeley, Twin Lakes, Strasburg and the rural east. Thornton, Westminster, Commerce City, Brighton, Northglenn, Federal Heights, Arvada and Aurora issue their own permits and are not in this file.
