Evans, Colorado has adopted: 2018 International Building Code (IBC), adopted and enforced per the City's 'Current Codes and Zoning' page; 2018 International Residential Code (IRC); 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), adopted 'per the State of Colorado' — per the City's current 'Current Codes and Zoning' page, https://www.evanscolorado.gov/building-business-development/building-and-renovating/current-codes-and-zoning/; 2018 International Property Maintenance Code; 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), applied together with the Colorado Model Energy Efficiency Construction and Renovation Standards; 2018 International Fire Code (IFC); 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code; Evans Municipal Code (Title 15, Buildings and Construction) governs adoption — https://library.municode.com/co/evans/codes/municipal_code?nodeId=MUCO_TIT15BUCO; DISCREPANCY NOTE: the City's dedicated 'Current Codes and Zoning' webpage (the canonical source, checked live) lists 2023 NEC, while several of the City's own downloadable application PDFs (One Stop Building Application, 'Last Revised 2/2020'; Commercial/Residential Addition or Remodel Application) still print the older line 'Current Adopted Code is 2018 IRC, IMC, IFGC, IPC, IFC; 2017 NEC, 2012 IECC.' This corpus follows the live Current Codes and Zoning page as authoritative since it is the City's dedicated, more recently-maintained code-reference source and 2023 NEC aligns with the statewide NEC adoption cycle other Colorado jurisdictions (e.g., Northglenn) are also on; the application-PDF text appears to be an un-updated holdover from before the 2025 in-house transition and should be re-verified directly with Building Division staff before treating it as current.. Local amendments apply — see the Evans overview page for the full list.
