New Green City Codes,
New Green Classes

Effective Codes - January 1, 2012

Adopted by City Council last March, the new City of Fort Collins building code green amendments went into effective January 1, 2012. Check out our green codes at a glance in the gray box. For the complete codes, visit code and standards.

COMBUSTION SAFETY TESTING

The newly implemented Green Code Amendments requires a combustion safety test be performed on natural gas appliances with draft hoods. The code requirement is applicable to all single-family and multifamily projects. As part of this new requirement, the combustion safety test must be performed by an “approved agent” of the City of Fort Collins.
