Boulder County is making strides to fully update its building code by early 2025, with drafts of the proposed amendments now open for public review. The changes, driven by Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting, aim to switch from the 2015 guidelines to the more current 2021 International Codes (I-Codes). Residents and professionals interested in the future of building practices in the area are encouraged to dive into the drafts provided. The documents can be found on the county’s official website, providing a window into what the local landscape of construction may soon look like.
The list of updates isn’t just to keep at bay with the times; it’s a comprehensive approach to align with standards set by the International Code Council (ICC) and to ensure the county’s buildings are energy efficient, safe, and affordable. The Colorado Model Electric and Solar Ready Code (HB22-1362) is also to be integrated, an endeavor to remain a leader in energy efficiency. “Add clarity and formality to existing policies” is among the pronounced goals listed according to

These proposed amendments represent more than a shift in policy, they signify a commitment to maintaining the region’s high Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule Rating. This rating isn’t just a measure of compliance but a reflection of Boulder County’s dedication to best practices in the realm of public service in building excellence. As noted by
