Aurora follows CRS 25-4-1602 and EPA RRP rules requiring certified renovators for lead-paint work in pre-1978 housing.
Residential structures in Aurora built before 1978 are presumed to contain lead-based paint. Colorado Revised Statutes 25-4-1602 and the federal EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule require that any renovation disturbing more than 6 square feet interior or 20 square feet exterior of paint be performed by an EPA-certified RRP firm using lead-safe work practices. Property sellers and landlords must disclose known lead-based paint and provide the EPA pamphlet to buyers and tenants. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment administers certification. Violations carry federal and state penalties.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Aurora code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
