If You're Building in Loveland, the Rules Just Changed

Loveland updated its building codes in June 2026, adopting the latest ICC 2024 amendments, and the City's Building Division now reviews projects against those current rules. Deck ledger attachment is a good example of what actually changed: the current code calls for more specific fastening at the house connection and more detailed flashing than the previous edition required. That matters even on a straightforward deck, since the connection method that passed inspection a few years ago isn't automatically what gets approved today. We also check door thresholds, roof runoff, grade, and future connections so one improvement doesn't create problems for the next phase.
