Planning & Community Development

Using the community’s long-range plans as a guide, Planning & Community Development strives to ensure growth and development that enhances our quality of life and promotes the community’s vision for the future.

City View Portal

We have new land use management software, CityView. The customer portal enables online applications for development plan, building permit, liquor license, and many other types of permits, to be submitted, monitored, resubmitted, and tracked by the applicant. 

Mountain Area Master Plan

The City of Steamboat Springs has developed a draft Mountain Area Master Plan (MAMP). The draft plan was informed by broad community participation and guided by a 13-member Advisory Committee. Learn more and review the draft plan at EngageSteamboat.net/MAMP or email Brad Calvert.
