Morrison, Colorado has adopted: 2015 International Building Code (IBC), chapters 1-35 inclusive and appendix chapter I — Morrison Municipal Code Section 9-1-2 (Codes Adopted By Reference), current through 2026 S-15 supplement; 2015 International Residential Code (IRC), chapters 1-44 inclusive and appendix chapter H — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC), chapters 1-15 inclusive — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), chapters 1-8 inclusive — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC), chapters 1-15 inclusive — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Fire Code (IFC), chapters 1-80 inclusive — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), Residential and Commercial chapters 1-6 — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), chapters 1-16 inclusive with all appendices — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, chapters 1-11 inclusive with all appendices — Section 9-1-2; 2015 International Property Maintenance Code, chapters 1-8 inclusive with all appendices — Section 9-1-2; National Electrical Code (NEC), 'the most current edition adopted by the Colorado State Electrical Board, Department of Regulatory Agencies' — Morrison's own code text ties its NEC edition to whichever edition the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) currently has in force, rather than fixing a specific year itself; as of this review the Colorado State Electrical Board's currently adopted edition is the 2023 NEC (per DORA Division of Professions and Occupations rules), so 2023 NEC is the effective edition in Morrison, subject to change automatically if DORA updates its adopted edition; Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, 2025 edition, adopted and published by the Wildfire Resiliency Code Board within the Division of Fire Prevention and Control, Colorado Department of Public Safety — adopted by reference as the Town of Morrison wildfire resiliency code (Section 9-1-2, subsection M); HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide building greenhouse-gas-emissions / energy code law) note: HB22-1362 only obligates a municipality or county to adopt an equivalent-or-better energy code WHEN it next updates one or more of its building codes — it does not retroactively force an update on jurisdictions that haven't touched their codes. Morrison's adopted energy code is still the 2015 IECC (per Section 9-1-2, unchanged since original codification), so the HB22-1362 floor (2021 IECC-equivalent performance from 7/1/2023-6/30/2026; Model Low Energy and Carbon Code-equivalent performance from 7/1/2026 onward) has NOT yet been triggered for Morrison because the Town has not updated its building code since adopting the 2015 cycle. This is a genuine, current compliance gap/lag relative to HB22-1362's intent, not an omission by this file — confirmed against the Colorado Energy Office's published HB22-1362 timeline.. Local amendments apply — see the Morrison overview page for the full list.
