Landscaping Requirements
Landscape inspections have been open since May and are expected to be open through late October. Landscape and irrigation affidavits must be submitted with each inspection request. To submit an inspection request or for questions about financial assurances, please contact DREPlanInfoSMB@coloradosprings.gov.
Landscape requirements have been established for the design, installation, and maintenance of landscapes in Colorado Springs that intend to do the following;
- Contribute ecologically and aesthetically for the growth and economic prosperity of the City;
- Achieve healthy, attractive, and safe environments according to recognized water conservation principles; and
- Conserve, protect, and promote the unique natural identity and environment of the City.
City of Colorado Springs landscape requirements can be found in Part 9, Article 4 of the Unified Development Code (UDC).
