Welcome to City Planning and Development Review

City Planning is where Fort Collins plans to meet the challenges of the future. When you see a construction project being built in your neighborhood, did you know that City of Fort Collins staff have been hard at work months or even years before shovels break ground? 

Development Review

Development Review is the process through which development proposals are examined, edited and approved or denied by the City before they can obtain the site inspections and building permits they need to begin construction.
