Reply to comment by Scooter_127 in Plan to frame part of basement and have a few questions by Ad-Nauseam91

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

In my Chicago area suburb, the code guys are generally pretty helpful.

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.

You can often find that info on the county website.
