This spring, the City’s rental housing team will hold many educational events for landlords and tenants starting on February 20 at 9:00am with a program on what’s new with rental housing minimum standards for 2026. Discover how to go beyond the basics with good, better and best approaches. 

Fort Collins’ Utilities’ Water Conservation team is asking to hear directly from homeowners and renters about what water conservation programs would be most useful to community members. Examples might include plumbing repair assistance, installation of energy efficient toilets or gardening grants. Your ideas and feedback will guide staff in designing programs that truly meet community needs.
