Greeley, Colorado has adopted: Colorado is a home-rule state: there is no single mandatory statewide building code edition — each municipality adopts and amends its own codes. The only statewide floors are the building energy code (HB22-1362, effective 7/1/2023, requiring local governments that adopt an energy code to meet or exceed a specified electric- and solar-ready code baseline) and specific state statutes (e.g., ADU enabling legislation). Confirm your city's own adopted edition; this file documents Greeley's own program, verified directly from the Greeley Municipal Code (Title 22) via library.municode.com/co/greeley.; City of Greeley runs its own Building Inspection Division (part of Community Development) and administers its own permitting within Greeley city limits — it is not a Weld County program.
