Variance Requests
As of October 27, 2020 the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) has moved the City and County of Denver to the more restrictive Safer at Home Dial Level 3.
With the move to Safer at Home Level 3, Denver is now under more strict, state mandated, restrictions. As a result, Denver cannot accept variance requests at this time. We encourage you to review the state’s website and to monitor this page for updates.
