HB 26-1114

House Bill 26-1114, which has been signed into law, sets a minimum lot size requirement for single-family homes in certain areas of Colorado. Starting October 1, 2031, local jurisdictions cannot require lot sizes larger than 2,000 square feet or other restrictions that would prevent the construction of a single-family home on such lots. However, some types of parcels are exempt from this requirement. This law aims to make it easier and more affordable for people to build single-family homes in these areas.
