Updates to the Boulder County Flood Codes are currently being considered in order to: 

  • Create a transparent public process for incorporation of best available data for regulator use;
  • Revise language regarding non-conforming structures and uses to be consistent with the rest of the code;
  • Revise language regarding appeals and variances to decisions made under the floodplain regulations to be consistent with the rest of the code; and,
  • Update related provisions in the code in order to best protect the health, safety, and welfare of county residents in the event of future floods.

The proposed updates only affect unincorporated Boulder County. For more information on the proposed floodplain code updates, visit http://www.bouldercounty.org/property/build/pages/lucodeupdatedc150004.aspx or contact Christian Martin at 720-564-2866 or via email.
