Hudson, Colorado has adopted: 2018 International Building Code (IBC), as codified and amended per Hudson Municipal Code Chapter 18, Article I, Sec. 18-2 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force per the live Municode-codified chapter; 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), Sec. 18-6 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC), Sec. 18-10 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), Sec. 18-20 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC), Sec. 18-24 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), Sec. 18-28 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force per the live-codified chapter, though the Town's own DRAFT 2024 amendments propose replacing this with the 2024 IECC (status: not yet adopted as of the last verification); 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), Sec. 18-32 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), Sec. 18-36 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), Sec. 18-40 (Ord. No. 19-13, 7-3-19) — currently in force; National Electrical Code: no locally adopted NEC edition found in Chapter 18; IPMC Section 604.2 as amended defers to 'the Electrical Code adopted by the State of Colorado' rather than naming a specific NEC edition — electrical work in Hudson is administered under the Colorado State Electrical Board framework (see localAmendments); IMPORTANT STATUS NOTE — code edition transition in progress but NOT yet finalized: the Town's live Building Permits & Inspections page (hudsonco.gov/166/Building-Permits-Inspections) states the Town 'will adopt the 2024 ICC codes beginning June 2026, including Solar and EV-ready provisions,' and the Town has posted a document titled 'DRAFT 2024 Building Code Amendments' (DocumentCenter View/6523) proposing 2024 editions of IBC/IRC/IMC/IFGC/IPC/IECC(2024)/IPMC/IEBC/ISPSC plus a new Colorado Model Electric and Solar Ready Code, 2023 Edition (Title 31, Article 16, Part 2, C.R.S.) as Sec. 18-43. However, that document is watermarked 'DRAFT' throughout (dated 4/02/2026), and the currently-codified Municode text of Chapter 18 (library.municode.com/co/hudson) still shows the 2018/2012 editions listed above as being in force via Ord. No. 19-13. The 2024 suite is NOT recorded as adopted until a signed ordinance/Municode update confirms it; codesAdopted above reflects the current in-force 2018/2012 baseline, with this note flagging the pending transition.; Separately, the Hudson Fire Protection District (HFPD) — an independent special district, not a Town department — runs its own fire-code adoption process. The Town's Building page states 'The Hudson Fire Protection District Board has adopted the 2024 IFC amendments, with draft documents available for review,' and a scanned board resolution (DocumentCenter View/6549, '2024-IFC-Adoption-Board-Resolution', a Konica Minolta scan dated April 2026) is posted. That PDF is an image-only scan with no text layer, so read it on screen rather than searching it, and HFPD's own website (hfpdco.org) does not itself state a currently in-force IFC edition. An HFPD board resolution exists and the Town describes the 2024 amendments as adopted, but the Town's page summary is the only statement of that — confirm the effective edition with HFPD before designing to it.. Local amendments apply — see the Hudson overview page for the full list.

No. Hudson's Building Permit Fees handout is explicit that electrical fees follow the State Electrical Board's fee schedule, assessed each July by the State, rather than a locally-set fee table — consistent with Colorado's default framework for jurisdictions without their own certified electrical inspection program.
