Tips
- Greeley adopted the International Plumbing Code (IPC), not the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) used by some neighboring Mountain West jurisdictions — verify fixture unit tables and venting requirements against the 2021 IPC as locally amended (Greeley Municipal Code Secs. 22-306 to 22-329).
- Fuel-gas-fired water heaters and their venting fall under the adopted International Fuel Gas Code, not the plumbing code.
- No separate plumbing-only fee schedule is published; plumbing permits are charged against the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee Schedule as building permits.
