Join us to hear the latest with the City and County of Denver's Office of Community Planning and Development. The final proposed Denver Building and Fire Code and Denver Green Code are expected to move through the legislative process this fall. These codes will become effective four months after their adoption date. The city currently anticipates an adoption date of November 1, 2022, and an effective date of March 1, 2023, for the new building code. These are tentative, draft dates, which may be subject to extension if the code adoption process takes longer than expected. During the four-month grace period between the adoption date and the effective date, projects will be able to apply for building permits under either the 2019 building code or the new 2022 building code.
