Plumbing and HVAC rules in Colorado
- Heating and cooling license
Denver issues its own certificates for heating and ventilating contractors and supervisors. Ask your city or county whether it licenses heating and cooling contractors.4
- State codes
Colorado's plumbing code, a statewide minimum set by the State Plumbing Board, is the 2024 International Plumbing Code and the 2024 International Residential Code's plumbing chapters, with state amendments.5 Colorado has no statewide mechanical code: the state adopts the International Mechanical Code only for state buildings and some types of facilities, and local governments adopt their own.6
- Replacement permits
Colorado's plumbing code requires a permit to replace a plumbing system, and only leak repairs and clearing stoppages are exempt. With no statewide mechanical code, permits for heating and cooling work are local.5
