Nederland, Colorado has adopted: 2024 ICC family of codes (IBC, IRC, IFC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, etc.) — per the Town of Nederland Building, Planning & Zoning Department's live 'Building Guides and Permits' webpage: 'The Town of Nederland is governed under the 2024 ICC codes, with 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) in effect.' This is the department's actively maintained, currently published code-adoption statement and is treated as the governing current code cycle for this record.; Several documents still posted on the Town's site cite an older code cycle. The 'Nederland Design Criteria' PDF (Other Helpful Information page) lists 'ICC IBC/IRC (Bldg. codes) 2018' and 'Nat'l Electrical (NEC) 2020 or most current'. The Residential Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Permitting Checklist (effective 1/1/2022) lists 2018 IBC/IRC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC/IPMC/IEBC editions, 2020 NEC, ICC/ANSI 117.1 (2009), 2018 IFC, and the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. The Residential Application Checklist (SAFEbuilt Colorado submittal list) references '2018 International Code Council IBC or IRC compliance' and '2018 IECC Energy Code Compliance.' The Building Department webpage states the current adopted cycle as 2024 ICC / 2026 NEC, and that is what governs. Use the older documents only as a guide to the design and plan-review detail SAFEbuilt asks for, and design to the current editions.; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code floor / electrification-readiness requirements for municipalities adopting or updating a building code) is not referenced anywhere on the Town of Nederland's Building, Planning & Zoning Department pages, adopted-codes statement, fee schedule, or permit-application PDFs. Nederland's own site states only that 2024 ICC codes (which as of the 2024 IECC cycle already carry more stringent efficiency provisions than 2018 IECC) are in effect, with no separate local ordinance citation for HB22-1362 compliance. No specific compliance mechanism beyond the general 2024 IECC adoption is asserted here; verify further with the Building Department directly (303-258-3266).. Local amendments apply — see the Nederland overview page for the full list.

Often, yes. Furnace Replacement is listed among the Town's One-Stop Building Permit categories, which the Town states 'can often be processed in the same day,' with a published outer bound of 3 business days for One-Stop Permitting generally.
