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currently published code-adoption statement and is treated as the governing current code cycle for this file.; Prior/superseded code-cycle documentation still in circulation on the Town's own site: the 'Nederland Design Criteria' PDF (Other Helpful Information page) lists 'ICC IBC/IRC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 Town's Residential Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Permitting Checklist (dated 'effective 1/1/2022') lists a full adopted-code table of 2018 IBC/IRC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC/IPMC/IEBC editions, 2020 NEC, ICC/ANSI 117.1 (2009), 2018 IFC, and 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code; and the Residential Application Checklist (SAFEbuilt Colorado submittal list) references '2018 International Code Council IBC or IRC compliance' and '2018 IECC Energy Code Compliance.' These are static PDFs that have not yet been updated to match the live department webpage's current 2024 ICC / 2026 NEC statement — the same stale-PDF-vs-live-webpage pattern documented elsewhere in this corpus (e.g. Vail). The live webpage is treated as authoritative for the currently adopted cycle; the older documents are retained here for transparency since they remain published and may still describe design/plan-review expectations SAFEbuilt applies in practice.; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code floor / electrification-readiness requirements for municipalities adopting or updating a building code) was NOT found referenced anywhere on the Town of Nederland's Building, Planning & Zoning Department pages, adopted-codes statement, fee schedule, or permit-application PDFs during this review — checked directly. 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 found. Not asserted as applying via a specific mechanism beyond the general 2024 IECC adoption; flagged as an area to verify further with the Building Department directly (303-258-3266) rather than invented.. Local amendments apply — see the Nederland overview page for the full list.

Yes. All non-single-family-home buildings, including commercial buildings and multifamily homes, must submit a completed Backflow Prevention Survey to the Town.
