My advice is to check local code. Where I live a permit is required to finish a basement.

Is there a place to go to for definitive local code? I’m in CO. Any clarification on that is appreciated!

CO will vary between different city/counties. Start at the website for your city or county and you should be able to find permit requirements and building codes.

If you're within city limits, the city is the Authority Having Jurisdiction. If you're not within the city limits, the county is the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

If you live with a city that doesn't do zoning or permitting, they will direct you to the county.
