How Centennial compares with other cities

From our cross-city data studies: the same measure, read the same way, for every city we cover.

Nearby permit data

New home permits for other places in Denver and Boulder. Each permit office keeps its own file, so the numbers are not added together.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Centennial ArcGIS Server, EPL_Permit (EnerGov permit table), read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.

Building, trade, fence and sign permits the City of Centennial issues inside the city limits only. Homes with a Centennial mailing address in unincorporated Arapahoe County, and the neighbouring cities of Greenwood Village, Littleton, Englewood, Lone Tree and Aurora, get their permits elsewhere and are not in this file.

  • The city's file names no contractor, so there are no contractor lists, rankings or firm pages for Centennial.
  • The value is the valuation declared on the permit, which sets the fee. Many over-the-counter home permits list none or a nominal figure, so values are a guide, not a cost.
  • Hailstorms drive roofing: a storm season can double a month's permits, so roofing counts swing from year to year.
  • The city's broad 'Misc' class (EV circuits, sewer repairs, furnace swaps, siding) is sorted into trades from the short work description; anything left is a remodel or repair.
  • Homes are permits the city files as residential. Multi-family buildings and commercial work count as other.
  • A final date is the date the permit was finaled. Right-of-way, temporary use and development permits are left out.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
