Kersey, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — actively cited as the current adopted code on all nine of the Town's SAFEbuilt-published 'Building Guides for Homeowners' (Additions, Accessory Structures, Re-Roofing, Basement Finish, Decks, Patio Covers/Carports, Window Replacement, Pole Barns, Swimming Pools), each stamped 'Document published by SAFEbuilt, Inc. 1.1.2026' and headed '2024 IRC' — these are the Town's most recently updated, actively maintained permitting documents (site-wide document-center timestamps show a 2026-03-30 publish date).; 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per the Town's Planning Department 'Current Building Regulations' page, which references a '2020 NEC - Significant Changes Residential Electrical' resource alongside the Municipal Code Chapter 18 structure.; The Municipal Code's home page on Municode (library.municode.com/co/kersey, Kersey Municipal Code 'VERSION: OCT 23, 2025 (CURRENT)', codified through Ordinance No. 2025-0008 enacted 6/10/2025) lists 'Adopted Ordinances Not Yet Codified,' including Ordinance No. 2025-0010, adopted 9/9/2025, titled verbatim 'AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL EXISTING BUILDING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING POOL and SPA CODE, 2024 EDITION, AND THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE, 2024 EDITION, PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL.' This dated, numbered ordinance directly confirms the SAFEbuilt-published '2024 IRC' guides are current and correct — the Town has adopted 2024 editions of IBC, IRC, IFGC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, IPMC, ISPSC, and IECC, superseding the 2018/2012 editions still shown in Chapter 18's currently-codified section text (Sec. 18-19 Building Code = 2018 IBC, Sec. 18-44 Residential Code = 2018 IRC, Sec. 18-64 Mechanical Code = 2018 IMC, Sec. 18-89 Fuel Gas Code = 2018 IFGC, Sec. 18-109 Plumbing Code = 2018 IPC, Sec. 18-134 Energy Conservation Code = 2012 IECC, Sec. 18-154 Property Maintenance Code = 2018 IPMC, Sec. 18-179 Existing Building Code = 2018 IEBC) — those codified sections simply have not yet been updated in Municode's online supplement to reflect the 9/9/2025 ordinance, exactly as the Municode banner itself discloses ('This Code of Ordinances... may not reflect the most current legislation adopted by the Municipality'). Notably, Ordinance No. 2025-0010's list does NOT include the International Fire Code — Article X (Sec. 18-199, adopted separately by Ordinance No. 2021-0001) remains the 2018 International Fire Code with no 2024-edition update published. IBC/IRC/IFGC/IPC/IMC/IEBC/IPMC/ISPSC are therefore 2024 editions (per Ord. No. 2025-0010, 9/9/2025) and the IFC is the 2018 edition (per Ord. No. 2021-0001, 1/12/2021, locally amended by Sec. 18-200).; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code floor, 2021 IECC + electric/solar/EV-ready provisions, effective window July 2023-July 2026): Municode confirms Chapter 18, Article VII (Sec. 18-134) currently codifies the 2012 IECC (the static Current Building Regulations page names only an undated 'Energy Conservation Code'), and Ordinance No. 2025-0010 (adopted 9/9/2025, not yet codified) adopts by reference the 2024 IECC, which post-dates and satisfies HB22-1362's 2021-IECC-floor requirement. The Home Additions guide's instruction to submit an 'Energy Code Compliance Report (www.energycodes.gov) or REScheck calculations' is consistent with 2024 IECC compliance documentation but does not itself name an edition year — the 2024 IECC edition-year figure comes from the Ordinance 2025-0010 citation above, not from the SAFEbuilt guide.. Local amendments apply — see the Kersey overview page for the full list.

Manual D and Manual J documentation is required for new HVAC appliance installations associated with additions, per the Town's Home Additions guide.
