TELLER COUNTY NEEDS YOUR INPUT

Currently, the use of shipping containers for storage buildings in Teller County is not permitted by the Land Use Regulations (LUR). Teller County is considering amending the LUR to allow the use of shipping containers for storage buildings on properties 10 acres and larger in the Agricultural (A1) Zoning District.

Your feedback is important. Please contact Dan Swallow, Community Development Director, with your input and feedback regarding this potential change to the LUR.
