If your neighborhood has been filled with construction noise over the past year, if youâve seen an unusual number of people hanging onto ladders or hammering on rooftops, an increase in permit applications for residential alterations might offer at least a partial explanation.
According to the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department database on pprbd.org, a total of 61,996 total permits were approved in 2019 for El Paso County residents looking to perform major construction work on their homes, like installing new air conditioning systems, building new decks and working on electrical systems. Last year saw that number increase by about 2 percent, to 63,215 permits.
