Counts are permits issued per calendar month as Aurora publishes them to its open-data feed — not a complete census; a change in what the city publishes moves them too. The current month is left out, and the most recent months are provisional. A forecast is a statistical estimate with a range, not a prediction for any project. Informational only.
How long do permits take in Aurora?
Based on 606 Aurora permits applied for between Nov 2023 and Aug 2026, the typical (median) permit was issued 26 days after application, and the middle half of permits took 14–69 days. One in ten took longer than 331 days.
| Permit type | Median | Typical range | Permits |

Typical, not guaranteed: individual permits vary with project scope, application completeness and plan-review workload. Days are calendar days from application to issuance; applications still pending are counted as not-yet-issued rather than dropped. Informational only, not legal advice.

Housing law — Colorado

HB24-1313 (2024) requires qualifying transit-oriented communities to plan for greater housing density near rail and frequent-bus corridors, rather than imposing a statewide duplex mandate.
