Victor, Colorado has adopted: 2012 International Building Code (IBC) — City of Victor Design Criteria document (Building Department page, 'Adopted Codes' section); 2012 International Residential Code (IRC); 2012 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2012 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2012 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC); Local amendments to the above codes are adopted by Ordinance No. 485; the Design Criteria document's direct link to the Ordinance No. 485 PDF (hosted on the City's legacy cityofvictor.com/downloads path) returned a connection error on re-check and could not be independently re-verified as still live — the amendment's EXISTENCE and code-cycle citation is confirmed via the current Design Criteria document itself (a live, actively-published Building Department resource), but its full text could not be retrieved during this pass.; Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code: Ordinance No. 526 (adopted 3/19/2026) amends Chapter 18 of the Victor Municipal Code by adding a new Article 12 adopting the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code with local amendments — confirmed via the Municode Library's 'Adopted Ordinances Not Yet Codified' index for Victor, CO (ordinance not yet folded into the codified Chapter 18 text, which remains current only through Ordinance No. 511/2019 in the online codified view). This aligns with SB23-166's statewide Wildfire Resiliency Code Board mandate requiring local governments in the Wildland-Urban Interface to adopt minimum wildfire-resiliency structure-hardening and defensible-space standards by April 1, 2026.; The Design Criteria document (undated on-page, but the only live current-codes statement the Building Department publishes) is treated as the governing adopted-code list; it does not reference the 2024 code cycle used by some other Colorado jurisdictions in this corpus (e.g. Vail) — Victor's own document names 2012 I-Codes and 2014 NEC specifically, and no newer supersession was found on the Building Department, Building Permits, Ordinances and Resolutions, or Forms pages during this review.. Local amendments apply — see the Victor overview page for the full list.
