Wheat Ridge doesn't use the model plumbing and gas codes exactly as printed. It adopted the 2024 IPC and 2024 IFGC and then made 9 local changes. Some are paperwork, like permits and fees. Others change what you build in the field, including building sewer depth, gas pressure test, gas piping. If you bid off the model book alone, you can miss them. CodeCheck Colorado lists every one in plain English with the official source.
