How these numbers are made

Source: Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting building permits on homes in unincorporated Boulder County (the County's Accela permit layer, which stopped taking new applications on May 4, 2026, so the data ends with April 2026; the City of Boulder and the other cities issue their own permits), with issue dates and declared job values from the Boulder County Assessor's permit file. The window is May 2023 through April 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.

Common questions

  • How many quotes should I get for a siding job in Boulder County (unincorporated)?At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Boulder County (unincorporated) siding firms usually file between $22,675 and $37,000 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 1.6 times apart and both be normal for Boulder County (unincorporated). A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.
  • What range is normal for siding jobs in Boulder County (unincorporated)?Half of permits were filed between $15,000 and $38,100; 8 in 10 between $10,000 and $56,800. These are approximate, pooled from each firm's own spread.

  • Why is this different from the per-square-foot prices I see online?Online prices are quoted per square foot. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many square feet plus the work around them, and the Boulder County file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $24,000 into a price per square foot.
  • Do bigger houses get bigger bills?Not in the file: firms working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $29,728, the lower third $37,000.
  • Where does this data come from?Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting building permits on homes in unincorporated Boulder County (the County's Accela permit layer, which stopped taking new applications on May 4, 2026, so the data ends with April 2026; the City of Boulder and the other cities issue their own permits), with issue dates and declared job values from the Boulder County Assessor's permit file, read October 2026.
