Adopted Building Codes
Building Codes adopted and enforced in unincorporated Douglas County.
**NOTICE**
Douglas County will be updating Building Codes by July 2023. Building Division staff is proposing the adoption of the following codes with amendments:
The County will be re-adopting the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code to allow the building community time to adapt to the changes in the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code and the Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready codes currently being developed by the Energy Code Board through the Colorado Energy Office. For more information on the Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code click here.
