Center, Colorado has adopted: 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) — per the Town of Center's own Building Permit Application / Fee Schedule document ('CURRENT (2018 Codes)', referencing https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes/colorado); 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2018 International Fire Code (IFC); 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (listed on the Town's document as 'International Energy Commission Code'); 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); ICC/ANSI A117.1 Accessibility Code (ADA); ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code; Note on currency: the Town's Building Permit Application/Fee Schedule packet (the only currently-published code-adoption source found) explicitly labels these as the '2018 Codes' with no revision date visible on the document itself. No newer code-adoption ordinance, resolution, or updated fee-schedule packet was found anywhere on the Town's current website (centerco.gov) or its Documents/Building Department listing as of this review (2026-07-06). The prior townofcenter.colorado.gov CivicPlus-style site (which hosted the original seed URL, .../departments/public-works-department/building-department, and an alternate .../departments/building-department path) now 301-redirects at the domain root to www.centerco.gov — the entire old site has been retired and its content was not recoverable via Wayback Machine chase within this review; the Town's own current-generation site (a minimal TownCloud/SvelteKit site launched circa 2025-2026) is treated as authoritative and does not itself carry a separate 'Adopted Codes' page distinct from the Building Permit Application document.. Local amendments apply — see the Center overview page for the full list.
