Colorado HB23-1273 directs the state Wildland-Urban Interface Code Board to adopt minimum statewide WUI building and defensible space standards under CRS 24-33.5-1226 that local jurisdictions must meet or exceed.
Under CRS 24-33.5-1226, enacted by HB23-1273, Colorado created a Wildland-Urban Interface Code Board within the Division of Fire Prevention and Control to adopt model WUI codes addressing ignition-resistant construction, defensible space zones, and access requirements in mapped hazard areas. Counties and municipalities in WUI areas must adopt codes meeting state minimums by the deadlines set by the Board. The CSFS Forest Atlas and CO-WRA hazard mapping designates which parcels fall under WUI requirements.
Local jurisdictions enforce the adopted WUI code through building permit denial, stop-work orders, and civil penalties set by adopting ordinance.
