NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): Logan's own 'Current Building Codes & Engineering Design Requirements' document is dated 'Effective July 2023' / 'Updated: 07/2023' and still lists the 2021 IBC — it has not been updated for the 7/1/2026 code cycle.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unchanged by the 7/1/2026 code cycle; Logan's own (stale, July 2023) codes document also lists this edition; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unchanged by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Logan's own codes document (July 2023) lists a '2020 National Electrical Code' — this was already stale before this fix and remains so; the statewide 2023 NEC governs.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE: no IEBC line previously existed in this file's codesAdopted entry or in Logan's own codes document; added here directly from the statute for completeness.; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), residential provisions — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition.
