Beginning August 1^st, 2026, the City of Aurora (in conjunction with the State of Colorado)  will transition to the requirements of the 2026 National Electrical Code (NFPA 70).

Any applications for permit of electrical work received after July 31^st, 2026, will be reviewed and inspected to the 2026 NEC requirements.

Any permits pulled from existing single-family master plans will automatically be processed under the 2026 NEC.

Any multifamily master plans will need to submit revisions to show compliance with the 2026 NEC before further permits are pulled.

The Building Plans Examination group reviews plans, specifications, calculations and other related construction documents for all new or remodeled commercial, industrial and residential buildings or structures. Plan reviewer teams, specializing in each of the applicable trades and ordinances, work together to ensure that all aspects of plan drawings are in compliance with approved codes and ordinances. Our primary goal is to safeguard the life, health, property and public welfare of the building occupants.

Please be aware: The city of Aurora adopts the National Electrical Code (NEC) simultaneously with the state of Colorado.
