Description
Coming Soon: New State-Mandated Wildfire Resiliency Codes
Colorado is moving toward statewide wildfire resiliency requirements that will impact counties and municipalities across the state. These new standards are expected to influence land use planning, building requirements, and development in wildfire-prone areas—including many communities on the Western Slope.
Join Montrose County’s Planning & Development Director, Tallmadge Richmond and the Chief Building Official, Jack Northrup for an informative presentation on the upcoming wildfire resiliency code requirements and what they could mean for the real estate community. Topics will include potential changes to development standards, defensible space requirements, building materials, permitting, and how these policies may affect property owners, buyers, and future listings.
For real estate professionals, understanding these changes early will help you better advise clients, anticipate questions about wildfire mitigation requirements, and stay ahead of regulatory shifts that could influence property values, insurability, and development potential.
This is an opportunity to hear directly from county leadership, ask questions, and gain insight into how these changes may shape the local housing and land market in the years ahead.
