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) 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 appears anywhere on the Town's current website (centerco.gov) or its Documents/Building Department listing. The prior townofcenter.colorado.gov CivicPlus-style site (which hosted the original.../departments/public-works-department/building-department page 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 is not archived. The Town's current-generation site (a minimal TownCloud/SvelteKit site launched circa 2025-2026) is 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.

Center's permit history isn't searchable here yet

This page covers what the permit requires. What we don't have for Center yet is the record of permits actually issued — the history you'd search by street address. That is a gap in our coverage, not a statement about any particular property.

Your email, and the place — never an address. We only use it to tell you when Center lands. Privacy.
