One local government for permits and water

Broomfield's building page is direct about water heaters: all of them need a permit, new or replacement. It also says that switching from a tank to a tankless unit needs a gas pipe plan. Ask your plumber to include both in the quote so the permit does not surprise you later.

For the water line, the city says it owns and maintains the line from the street main to the outside meter, and the resident owns and maintains the line from the meter into the home. A leak after the meter is yours to repair; a problem before it is a city call.

Water heater replacement in Broomfield: permits and tankless plans

Broomfield's building page says all water heaters need a permit, new or replacement. For a switch from a tank to a tankless unit, it says a gas pipe plan is needed. That is more than a simple swap, so ask the plumber to put the permit, the gas work and the venting in the written quote.

Broomfield is both a city and a county, so the Building Division and the water department you deal with are the same local government. Read our pages on water heater replacement for what a quote should cover.

About the area

About Broomfield

Broomfield is both a city and a county. Colorado made it the state's 64th county in 2001, so the same local government handles the services that a city and a county would split elsewhere, including building permits and water.

That is different from Westminster and its neighbors, where county and city offices are separate. For a Broomfield address, one set of city and county offices is the place to ask about permits and utilities.
