Gilcrest, Colorado has adopted: 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) — confirmed as the operative residential code from the title block of the Town's own SAFEbuilt-published 'Building Guides for Homeowners' series (Re-Roofing, Additions to Single Family Dwellings, Accessory Structures, Patio Covers/Carports, Decks, Pole Barns, Window Replacement, Swimming Pools — all titled '2018 IRC' and published/revised 5.10.2019), which are the Town's own currently-linked permitting handouts as of this review; National Electrical Code: the Town's own 'Residential Electrical Wiring Guidelines' handout (SAFEbuilt Colorado, last revised 1/28/2010) cites 2008 NEC provisions (e.g., tamper-resistant receptacle requirements) and the Manufactured Housing Installation Permits handout separately states manufactured-home electric service 'shall be installed in accordance with 2008 National Electric Code (NEC)' — this is the most recent NEC edition citation found in any Town-published document; it is materially older than current NEC practice elsewhere in this corpus (2020/2023 cycles), and no more recent Town-published NEC edition citation could be located after checking the Building Permit Application, the Electrical Permit Resolution (2016-12), and both Contemporaneous Review Guidelines documents, none of which state a NEC edition themselves; Building Permit Fee valuation table: the Town's 'Building Inspection and Plan Review Fees' handout (undated, current as of this review since it is reproduced verbatim as an exhibit to the Amended 2025 Fee Schedule effective 5/1/2025) explicitly states fees are 'Based on Table 1A of the 97 Uniform Building Code' (i.e., the 1997 Uniform Building Code, a legacy pre-IRC/IBC code family) — this is a fee-calculation table only, not a statement that Gilcrest enforces 1997 UBC construction/life-safety provisions; the same handout separately states project valuations are based on 'the most current Building Valuation Data published by the International Code Council,' which is inconsistent with a static 1997-vintage fee table and is flagged here rather than silently reconciled; No IBC, IECC, IMC, IPC, or IFGC edition is cited in any Town-published document located during this review (Building Permit Application, all SAFEbuilt-branded IRC guide handouts, both fee schedules, both Contemporaneous Review Guidelines, the Electrical Permit Resolution, and the Mobile Home Permit Handout & Procedures) — Gilcrest's own published materials are residential/IRC-focused and do not name a commercial building/mechanical/plumbing/fuel-gas code edition; a plumbing code edition is likewise not stated, though the Plumber Contemporaneous Review Guidelines confirm plumbing permits are locally administered; Colorado is a home-rule state with no statewide-mandated building code edition; Gilcrest is a statutory (non-home-rule) town, so its own municipal code and adopted-code ordinance would govern, but the Town's Municipal Code (hosted on Municode) returned a 403 error on every direct access attempt during this review and could not be independently verified as a supplementary source for code-adoption ordinance language — see tipsAndGotchas for the chase trail; HB22-1362 statewide energy code floor (2021 IECC + electric-readiness/EV-ready/solar-ready requirements, effective window July 2023-July 2026): no Town-published document reviewed states an adopted IECC edition or references HB22-1362 compliance; the 2018 IRC guide series (Home Additions, Accessory Structures) does reference 'Energy Code Compliance Report (www.energycodes.gov) or REScheck calculations' as a required submittal item, which points toward some energy-code enforcement in practice, but no specific IECC edition or HB22-1362 statement was found in any Gilcrest-published source. This should be treated as an open item pending direct confirmation from the Building Department (970-737-2426) rather than assumed either way.. Local amendments apply — see the Gilcrest overview page for the full list.
