Colorado Springs BMP Inspection FAQs

Do I need a Professional Engineer (PE) to submit my annual BMP inspection report?

1

No. The City of Colorado Springs does not require PE licensure for annual BMP inspections or the submission of annual inspection reports. The City's own Inspection and Maintenance Plan templates state that annual forms are reviewed and submitted by the property owner or property manager — a role that does not require a PE license. A PE certification is only required once, at the initial IM Plan delivery after construction.

What is a BMP, exactly?

2

BMP stands for Best Management Practice — a stormwater control facility designed to manage runoff from your property. Common types in Colorado Springs include extended detention basins (EDPs), bioretention areas (rain gardens), sand filters, grass swales, and porous pavement. If your property has a detention pond, there's a good chance you have a Maintenance Agreement on file with the City.

How do I know if my property has a Maintenance Agreement?

3

Maintenance Agreements are recorded with El Paso County deed records, which means they follow the property — not the owner. If your property was developed after 2002 and includes any permanent stormwater facility, it almost certainly has a recorded Maintenance Agreement. Not sure? Contact us and we can help you find out.

What happens if I miss the May 31st deadline?

4

Missing the deadline doesn't eliminate your obligation — your Maintenance Agreement runs in perpetuity. A late submission is significantly better than none from an enforcement standpoint. The City has authority to issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) for non-compliance. If you've already missed this year's deadline, contact us — we can help you get current and stay current going forward.
