Columbine Valley, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Town of Columbine Valley Building Codes page, current as of page last-modified date 2026-06-17; 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — same page, adopted alongside the IBC; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — same page; Note on code scope: the Town's live Building Codes page (columbinevalley.org/building-codes/) names ONLY the 2024 IBC, 2024 IRC, and 2023 NEC by edition; it does NOT separately name adopted editions of the IECC (energy code), IPC (plumbing code), IMC (mechanical code), IFGC (fuel gas code), IFC (fire code), or IEBC (existing building code) anywhere on that page, the Building Department page, the Building Permits page, or the Fee Schedule page — checked all directly. This is a materially thinner published code-adoption list than larger peer Colorado jurisdictions in this corpus (e.g. Vail names 9 separate model codes). It is plausible the IRC/IBC editions carry their own internal plumbing/mechanical/fuel-gas provisions by reference (both the IBC and IRC contain their own integrated plumbing/mechanical/fuel-gas chapters or cross-reference companion I-Codes), but the Town does not state this explicitly, so no separate IPC/IMC/IFGC edition is asserted here.; Third-party aggregator ColoradoEnergy.org's code database lists Columbine Valley under a stale 'IRC 2003 / NEC 2003' entry with no IECC data — this aggregator is out of date relative to the Town's own live, actively-maintained Building Codes page (dateModified 2026-06-17) and is NOT used as a source for this file's codesAdopted list, per this corpus's official-source-only policy.; HB22-1362 (Colorado Building Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act) note: this statute requires any Colorado local government that adopts or updates ANY building code between July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2026 to concurrently adopt the 2021 IECC (or equivalent) plus an Electric Ready and Solar Ready code. The Town's Building Codes page shows a dateModified of 2026-06-17 (within this window) and reflects an update from a prior code cycle to the 2024 IBC/IRC — however, the Town's own page does not mention IECC, Electric Ready, or Solar Ready adoption anywhere, and no separate ordinance or resolution documenting HB22-1362 compliance was found after searching the Town's website, Board of Trustees packets, and general web search. This is flagged as an open compliance question rather than assumed either way — the Town may be out of step with HB22-1362, may have adopted an energy code not documented on this particular webpage, or the page update may not itself constitute a triggering 'adoption or update' event under the statute's technical definition. Confidence on this specific point is partial; verify directly with the Building Department (303-795-1434) before relying on it for compliance purposes.. Local amendments apply — see the Columbine Valley overview page for the full list.

No. Plumbing work is processed under the Town's general Building Permit with Plan Review (or Non-Structural Building Permit) application, not a standalone plumbing-specific form. Plumbing contractors do need a distinct $100/year Town Plumber license.
