Local Airspace & Regulations in Evans, CO
FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Colorado require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network surveyors are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Colorado HB 1070 (2023) aligns state drone law with federal FAA Part 107 requirements. The law prohibits local municipalities from regulating drone flight paths or airspace, but allows cities to regulate takeoff and landing on public property. Colorado does not require a separate state-level drone license. Commercial drone operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and comply with all federal regulations. The Colorado Department of Transportation has additional guidelines for drone operations near state highways and infrastructure.
Local Ordinances
Evans Municipal Code requires commercial drone operators to obtain a city business license with proof of FAA Part 107 certification. Drone takeoff and landing in city parks requires authorization from the Evans Parks and Recreation Department. Commercial filming permits are issued through the City Clerks Office. Evans does not have a standalone drone-specific ordinance but regulates through parks, nuisance, and business licensing provisions.
Restricted Airspace
- KGXY is untowered Class G, so no LAANC authorization required for most Evans operations. However, operators must yield right-of-way to manned aircraft and avoid the airport traffic pattern.
- Weld County oil and gas infrastructure: extensive well pads and compressor stations throughout the area. Operators should maintain safe distances and coordinate with facility operators.
- No national parks nearby. Rocky Mountain National Park is approximately 50 miles west.
- Pawnee National Grassland 25 miles northeast with USDA Forest Service management; drone operations generally permitted but check local restrictions.
- No military bases nearby. Buckley SFB is approximately 50 miles south.

Evans is adjacent to Greeley-Weld County Airport (GXY), which is an untowered GA airport with Class G airspace. No LAANC authorization is required for most drone operations in Evans. Operators must still yield right-of-way to manned aircraft and avoid the airport traffic pattern, which is about 2 miles northeast of downtown Evans.
Do I need a business license for commercial drone operations in Evans?
Yes. Evans requires commercial businesses operating within city limits to obtain a municipal business license. Drone operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and carry appropriate liability insurance.
What construction projects are driving drone survey demand in Evans?
Residential subdivision development along the US 85 corridor, single-family home construction by national homebuilders including DR Horton and Richmond American, Evans Riverside Park area improvements, and water system expansion and road improvements along 37th Street are the primary drivers. The city 3-4% annual growth rate creates consistent demand for topographic surveys and construction monitoring.
How does oil and gas activity in Weld County affect drone operations near Evans?
Weld County has the highest density of oil and gas wells in Colorado. While Evans itself has less intensive oil and gas activity than surrounding unincorporated areas, operators flying east or north of the city should be aware of well pads, compressor stations, and pipeline corridors. Coordinate with facility operators when surveying near active sites.
Can I fly a drone in Evans city parks?
Drone takeoff and landing in Evans city parks requires authorization from the Parks and Recreation Department. Commercial operators must provide proof of FAA Part 107 certification and liability insurance. Contact the Parks Division for permit requirements before conducting surveys in park areas.
