EXTERNAL Denver wants your input for a new building and fire code

We have a couple of important announcements – please share these with your RNO members and neighbors:

Denver is updating its building and fire code. This is a public process ongoing now that will culminate in the city proposing a new code for City Council adoption much later this year. Read the press release or follow the progress.

Next Tuesday evening, March 26th, our residential permitting team will be at Decker Public Library to talk about building and zoning codes for single-family homes and duplexes. We’ll go over permitting basics, give an introduction to zoning, discuss what’s required of homeowners pulling their own permits, talk about permits/building codes for common projects, and have plenty of time for Q&A. If you’re thinking about a spring project, this would be a great event to attend. Invitation attached.
