How Colorado Bill SB25-002 Supports the Future of Modular Housing

Colorado’s housing crisis has driven state leaders to explore innovative solutions that make housing more affordable, accessible, and efficient. Senate Bill SB25-002, titled "Regional Building Codes for Factory-Built Structures," is a major step toward streamlining modular and factory-built housing regulations—paving the way for a more consistent, cost-effective, and scalable housing future.

At TinyMod®, we’re excited about the potential of this bill and what it means for modular home buyers and developers alike. Let’s break down why this matters and how it aligns with TinyMod®'s mission to deliver high-quality, factory-built homes in Colorado.

What is SB25-002?

SB25-002 focuses on creating regional building codes for factory-built homes, ensuring that modular construction meets local climate and safety needs while reducing regulatory barriers. Here’s what the bill does:

✅ Creates region-specific modular home codes to ensure homes are built to local climate and geographic conditions.
✅ Streamlines oversight by transitioning regulatory authority to the State Housing Board—reducing bureaucratic roadblocks.
✅ Allows certified local governments to perform inspections, speeding up the approval process.
✅ Enables third-party plan reviews, ensuring faster approvals for factory-built home designs.
✅ Allocates $600,000 in funding to help implement these changes and support the adoption of modular housing.
