NOTICE

On Jan. 8, 2022, the 2021 versions of the International Codes became effective in the city of Aurora. Applicants who wish to build their projects to the requirements found in the 2021 codes are allowed to do so and should notify Building Division staff at time of permit submittal of this decision.

The construction industry is experiencing unprecedented supply chain issues which has not only affected costs, but also inventory and delivery timelines. Due to nationwide shortages of various building materials, the city of Aurora is extending the deadline by which all submittals will be reviewed for compliance with the 2015 codes until May 1, 2023. 

There will be one exception to the delayed implementation date:
Due to the safety issues involved, the City of Aurora will begin enforcing IRC Section R324.6.1 'Pathways' from the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) on all solar permits submitted after Oct. 31, 2022. 

A note regarding Aurora4Biz: On Jan. 17, the city of Aurora launched new security measures for some access points on Aurora4Biz to further protect the security and privacy of your data. However, following this implementation, an error occurred with these new security measures, and the decision was made to revert the change temporarily to the original format. This error has since been remedied, and the city will proceed with implementing the planned security measures on Tuesday, Jan. 24, around 4 p.m. As a reminder, on pages where an account login is required, you will be redirected to an additional login portal page and provided with multiple options on how to sign in or sign up. This additional login will differ from your current Aurora4Biz credentials. Once you have logged in, you will be redirected to a new Aurora4Biz landing page with access to the platforms you need.
