for the Pagosa Springs Climate
Building a home or business in Pagosa Springs
requires planning and a clear understanding of the area's climate,
property rights laws, construction industry, landscaping requirements,
and sources of materials and supplies.
 Although Pagosa Springs is known for its plentiful, year-round,
sunny weather, remember that the winter months bring snowfall,
sometimes several feet in a single week, as well as freezing temperatures.
Choosing the right building design, and the right heating methods
and energy sources, can make a great difference in the cost and
convenience of maintaining your home or business during the winter
months. The high-mountain climate also affects landscaping decisions,
horse facilities, and many other choices.
Because of the rapid growth Pagosa Springs has experienced over
the past decade, people are more concerned than ever about how
this development will affect the lives of area residents and visitors.
One of the responses to this concern has been the development
of the new Archuleta County Community Plan, officially adopted
in May 2001.
Rapid growth has created one pleasant side effect for folks planning
to buiild or remodel in Pagosa: a wide selection of mortgage companies
and building contractors to choose from!
Energy resources in Pagosa include electricity, natural gas, LP
gas, wood heat and, with proper planning and construction, solar
energy. However, not all of these resources are available in every
area of Archuleta County.
You may also want to consider alternative building techniques
which suit your building location and budget.
